Left Bank Books

Beautiful bookstore with a nice variety, however, I was disappointed and off put by the manager?/owner? who had no filter in hiding her disgust as my kids looked excitedly around the kids section. I found it extremely disrespectful and tacky to visibly be so irritated by kids excited to look at and read books something one would think a BOOK store owner would want to foster. Quite honestly she just struck me as a snob…Maybe a museum curator would be up her alley

I wanted to love this book store, but the clerk or owner (not sure who she was) argued with me about a display book. I intended to purchase the book but didn’t want the display copy, and she disputed the request in an argumentative tone. I did attempt to clarify and explain my reasoning, she wouldn’t accept it and rudely interrupted me twice. I gave up, walked out, and purchased the book from another retailer. Take it easy on your patrons, they are there because they love books and will hopefully make a purchase. Leave the argumentative communication at home.

Very nice bookstore with the best selection of new books I've seen in town. Really nice kids section. Check out the video rental store next door afterwards!

Nice place to view top books. They will order anything for you, too. Very cute old - timey comfortable book store that has an immense poetry section and sweet children's book section. Many Maine authors and sizable card and gift section. They could really update their cultural section and carry interesting unknown authors. But, being a small quaint store, it is superb.
