Stone Soup Used Books

Camden landmark. It's located on Main Street in the heart of Camden. A flight of stairs takes you to a small, cluttered seemingly disorganized room stacked full of books, books and more books. That familiar smell that only comes from an old book tells you you've found the perfect old and used book store. If you want your bookstore to be brightly lite, spacious with organized sections clearly marked, go to Barnes & Noble.

Such a magical place! Tip my hat to the creator/owner of this little tucked away book shop. Am eager to venture back as frequent as I can.

It looks like the narrowest store in the world but look at the upstairs window in the red building! It's full of books.

Due to my wife loving books we have been stopping and going into book stores we see now. Walking…read morealong all the shops in downtown Bath this was the first store that caught our eyes. I will say definitely don't come in here expected your fancy new bookstore with all the popular new books. This is a used bookstore located in a historic building with shelves upon shelves of books. A spot you could spent a long time at browsing those shelves until you find that hidden gem you have been looking for! They have a variety of sections so if you have a particular genre you are searching for. Along with sections they did a few different sections highlighting Maine books too including a giant Stephen King section, Maine poetry and Maine mysteries too. Great little way to showcase that home state love! Value wise as we were just browsing we did not check prices so can't speak to that. Honestly my knowledge of used books especially highly sought after and in general is extremely lacking anyways. The condition of the books for sale did vary quite a bit too, some of the I assume older books had some wear and tear to them. Gives the books some character though. What I can say, is that if you are a book lover, or looking for gifts for that book lover in your life and are around here, stop in. Another quality used bookstore worth visiting.

I remember when this tiny basement space was a little wine bar and charcuterie cafe. Now it's a…read morebook seller. And mannnn is this place incredible. It's cool on a summer day, it's intimate and so well organized for stacks of classic well collected and curated sections. You could spend hours here absorbing all these lovely novels and treasures. It's not a stuffy place, it's actually quite welcoming. Like being in your grandmothers library. I love the smell of old books.
