What's even crazier, is that during said events, you're never pressured to buy anything. How do they make a profit? I'm not sure either. But it seems like their business model is more along the lines of providing a space that makes people feel happy and welcome and then worrying about that finance stuff later. Seriously though, the place is super welcoming and patient with nerds of all types. Whether you're dipping your toes into nerd culture or want to dive in face first, they've had an answer and anecdote for nearly every geeky genre that has ever pique a nerd's interest. Highly recommend the D&D games though. They're super fun and very patient with beginner players and even welcome new walk-ins during the middle of campaigns.

Worth the trip!

They had a lot of cool new hobby boxes and retail for basketball and football. Some more high end baseball hobby boxes would be awesome.

This place has many wonderful items inside of it. From rockets to simple crafts, there is bound to be something for the child with an imagination.

When looking for a very special gift for a child, I would reccomend checking this place out.

Their hours are 10-2 every day except closed on Sunday. They have recently expanded their footprint and have dedicated much more space to their used book collection.

Run, don't walk to Gorham's Bookworm. You won't be disappointed.

First time visit to this used bookstore located on Congress after visiting Uncharted Tea. Which you…read more will even find books from here inside Uncharted as well as some other local spots. Don't mind the scaffolding outside and make your way in to explore if you are close by exploring when they are open. The store goes a lot further back than you would expect and the huge amount of books here means you could spend a long time browsing. Despite the narrow spaces and books being everywhere it is organized well and you will find lots of signs listing the current genre you are looking at. Which speaking of they offer so much I think everyone will find some books that catch your eyes here. Being a used bookstore they did have a good mix of older books while appearing to have more fresh and modern titles available as well. Prices seemed reasonable for the few I looked at. My wife almost bought a couple books but in the end just browsed but would highly recommend coming here for any book lovers. I would even say one of the better used bookshops we have visited! You may just find your next unexpected book you have to read.

A perfect mix of contemporary and classic books, Green Hand is a magical bookstore. The staff is friendly and welcoming. On the day we visited, we took the number 1 bus along Congress Street, but it's also easily accessible on foot.

It was recommended to us by the kind folks at Print, a Bookstore. I highly recommend it.

Many plants were around was an added plus too. Due to showing up so early, especially on Easter meant no one else was there but I assume it turns into a very popular spot at certain times/days. They have many different games available to play as well. As well as host different events that you can check their socials or website to see whole months worth of events. They have a good variety of food and drink offerings as well to help power you through your gaming session or as a grab and go option too. I grabbed an iced vanilla latte while my wife got the lavender iced latte. For some small bites I grabbed a chocolate chip scone and my wife got an everything sour cream scone. The staff asked if we wanted them warmed up with butter which was a great option! A perfect bite to pair with our drinks. Neither my wife or I are really much of gamers in the sense of tabletop games. If you are a fan of that style of games or want to dip your feet in this would be the ideal spot for that. They also had puzzles and board games available for sale as well as puzzle and book exchange too. Check this place out!
