The second of third Portsmouth book stops for Indie Bookstore Day. This is a spot you could easily…read moreget lost in spending hours searching for that hidden gem/special book. Many older books in really nice condition. In what appears to be a house converted into a literary haven for book lovers, it's a spot that could easily be missed if you aren't directly searching for it! Despite having many older and used books they did honestly have a good selection of newer and popular books too! Compared to many other spots of similar nature I really appreciated the fact they had some newer and popular books in contrast to used books. It's a great way to bring in both those who want the popular and new and those looking to search through the shelves for that hidden gem! Prices seemed reasonable and while we did not interact with the owner nothing negative to say. A spot worth checking out if you find yourself in Portsmouth. One of a few Indie Bookstores you can support here in town!

Hands-down, the best place on the Seacoast to get lost in books, especially if you don't know what…read moreyou're in the mood for. In fact, this shop seems specifically geared for those who want something unique & special, but don't have any specific title in mind. Serendipity has taken up permanent residence here. Every time I walk in, I end up finding a gem I didn't know I needed. Sometimes it's a little worse for wear, sometimes it's as clean & bright as a new penny. Sometimes, still, it contains a treasure from a previous owner -- a postcard, a small note, or a personal inscription. My explorer's soul never seems to go hungry here. Highly recommended.

I was shopping at the outlet stores in Maine this past week and I noticed this store and saw that…read moreit sells calendars. So I went inside to see what they had since I will be needing a new calendar once the year is over and I figured why not get one right then and there while I happened to be at a store that sells them. They had a pretty good sized selection of calendars and some of them had a sticker on them with a special price. They have all sorts of different themed calendars. I saw ones with actors on them and others with flowers, cats, dogs, sunsets, television shows and much more. I chose a calendar that has photos of flower gardens. The photos on the calendar are beautiful and I lucked out because the calendar I picked happened to be one of the specially priced ones. After I made my selection I looked around the store for a few minutes. I saw other items such as jigsaw puzzles, toys for kids and board games for kids and adults alike. When I went to pay for my calendar the guy working at the cash register was very friendly and was a pleasure to deal with. I am glad I decided to stop by!

Selection- 5/5 Value- 4/5…read more Service- HORRIBLE 1/5 The selection was perfect! full of fun toys and games and calendars, as said in the name, Calendars, Toys, and Games.Value was neutral. But the service was just eww! I had a game picked out for my friend's B-Day, sure she would love it. I walked to the counter, ready to check out, when I noticed there was no one there. At first, I was not in a rush. 30 minutes until the B-Day party, and I thought it wouldn't take very long. But oh boy, was I wrong! 20 minutes later, NO ONE! I waited 5 more minutes. Still. I needed a present. The party was in 5 minutes! I just left, and I ran to a nearby candy store, Yummie's Candy And Nuts and grabbed candy. I thank Yummie's, while I am mad at Calendars, Toys, and Games. I would totally recommend it, but past events have left me wondering why this is rated 5 stars by most. I don't believe it. Other people clearly have had a better time than me. Review from Matthew Joe W. Has me puzzled. "Friendly gentleman behind the counter willing to assist us." Like WHAT?! I take it back. I don't recommend this toy store. Never going back in my life.

Oh no I do understand that a different customer might have put that book in the wrong box BUT when…read moreI went back to look at your past issues you had like 4 long boxes sitting there and I asked how much are these you said there ALL $1 boxes I could also tell from the condition that most likely that was a book that you received when it was new it didn't sell so it made it in the $1 box as most do but that one just happened to go up a little bit in the 10 years it had been sitting in your store ! And like I stated before you came at me with the Mint Condition value ($15) which it clearly wasn't it was probably worth $7 so the fact that you couldn't give up a few dollars on a book that you most likely paid less then cover price 10 years earlier that's ridiculous all that aside I remember very clearly you saying oh that shouldn't have been in that box that should've been back here (pointing behind you on the wall) ! So your excuse isn't gonna fly ! Either way your a used item store so when you buy something from someone you only pay a price low enough so you can turn around and sell it for a profit right ? So what I'm saying here is let's say you buy an item for $20 and it's worth $40 at the time so $20 profit right ? That's good double your money so why is it so bad for you to just put that $40 on the item and leave it there your still getting the original profit you were originally fine with but your way of thinking is if that item went up $10 YOU need to get that extra $10 instead of letting what could be a loyal customer get a good deal and you still get the profit you intended from the beginning this is what I was trying to express to you in my last review I mean you have MANY items in your store that have been there for YEARS ! I'm not saying if you paid $5 for an item then it sky rockets to $500 to still sell it for $10 but I mean if you let that go for ....$300 then wouldn't you say you both win you only expected to get the original $10 but got $300 then your potential RETURN customer got an amazing deal to which you know he would brag about to EVERYONE! I'll leave this here I think I've made my point hopefully everyone understands what I was trying to get across ??

I really enjoy this store. They are very honest about the products and price things based on…read morecurrent sales (which is the right way to do it - eBay is helpful tool they use). Everyone there is knowledgeable on the products. I highly recommend this store to people all the time!
