What a delightful find in lovely Mid-coast Brunswick! As an avid reader who likes holding an actual book and turning pages, I am always on the lookout for used bookstores, and Twice Told Tales did not disappoint. The shop is clean, well organized and the staff are welcoming. Books are arranged by genre, then are in alphabetical order. The prices are very reasonable. I've share this find with a co-worker who stopping in yesterday, can't wait to hear how she liked it.

Great place to purchase used books. I donated some books and purchased a Zane Grey novel for 50 cents. Staff was friendly and helpful

Questions & Answers

Do they give credit for donations ?

A receipt for tax records, not a credit to buy books.

Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that unusual and rare books are sold online and never make it into the store? It would be wonderful to have access to them on the shelf AND online.

Joachim, we would be happy to have you browse our online books. There is someone in our online department most every morning from 10 AM until 11:30 AM. You would be welcome to call the store any morning and talk to Scott to make an appointment to view the collection at a time that is convenient for you, as well. We also have an up-to-date inventory list of the books that we have listed on ABE and Amazon at our front desk in the store. If you are interested in something specific, a staff member can look that up for you and also create a Search card so that we know to keep an eye out for a particular author or title for you! We are always happy to help you find books in any way. Just let us know!

Janice, right now, we have all the books from the series in the store except for Little Town on the Prairie. They are all on our Children's chapter books shelves under Wilder and they are all paperbacks so they will be 50 Cents each. Call the store at 725-8888 if you would like us to hold any of the titles for you.

When do you accept donations?

A Google User | Aug 17, 2021
Twice-Told Tales Book Store | Aug 17, 2021

Right now, we are accepting donations only on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday during our Open hours which are 10 AM to 4 PM and we are limiting donations to one bag or box per customer per day. (We quarantine all donations for several days before cleaning and sorting them onto our shelves so it has created a bit of a storage space issue for us, thus the unfortunate need for limitations.) We do not accept encyclopedias, software, games, or magazines. Otherwise, we take any books, CDs, and DVDs in good condition, as well as puzzles. Thank you so much for thinking of us! We appreciate it!
