Rockport's independent bookstore!
This place is so fantastic! What a beautiful spot! Splendid Sun has such a comfortable place for avid readers or occasional readers alike to come in, hang out in their comfortable store, have a cup of coffee, discuss literature, and surf the web! Christi and her staff have a wonderfully stocked store, with lots of local authors, NYT best sellers, romance, stuff for kids, even comics! They've got a little bit of everything in here. I could spend all day going through the shelves of books. One of my favorites is the "Blind Date With a Book" where they give you the general theme of the book, and you get to learn about a new author!
I'm so happy to see that Rockport has such a bookworm crowd who loves getting together and talking about the books, not just reading them! There's a reason people around here shop at Splendid Sun instead of going online to order their stuff, it's the service and whole experience around purchasing that book!
Splendid Sun has been around for a while, doing the SeaFair and Market Days celebrations, and now I'm so excited to see that they have a regular location in a splendid shopping center along the main street in town. This is my favorite bookstore! I highly recommend checking this place out! read more
