The Unicorn Bookshop

It's the crazy, cluttered bookstore of every book lover's dreams. You could spend days in here wandering through the stacks of books and still not see everything. If you go in with a tiny inkling of what you want, on the other hand, the people that work there know exactly where things are and are glad to help you find the section that you need to find a gem. I found this place randomly as I was heading to Ocean City one day and immediately made a U-Turn at the next chance so I could go back and check it out. I bought some Stephen King hardbacks here and found a book filled with six months of The Yank right before WWII ended. That was a Christmas gift for a WWII aficionado. There are some rare books here and old books. I can't say enough good things about this place. It's truly magical. Edit: I visit this store at least once every year. I have gotten first editions of some of Stephen Kings books, a first edition of the American version of the Jungle Book, some incredibly old copies of classics (just got Arabian Nights today) and a couple of Shel Silverstein's books. Today I discovered there was an upstairs with a map section! I find new things every time I visit here. Can't say enough good things about this magical place. 🥰

They have a little bit of everything here! Shop owner is very nice and knowledgeable of his collection - while it may seen very crowded with books inside it is organized chaos! Very worth the visit!

This is the place to go in Maryland if you’re looking for rare books or any book! Very helpful owner and wish I would’ve known about this place sooner.

Such a classic lil book store with tons of old finds. Books stacked floor to ceiling. Two stories. Drive past this place a lot on vacation and finally decided to stop by. Glad we did. Books in every genre. Leave your coats and bags in the car if you can, hallways can be a bit narrow/crowded/easy to knock something over.
