Great bookshop to browse in, all kinds of subjects, pearls just waiting to be discovered. There are whole sections on whaling as well as many maritime books.

Honestly wish I could give negative stars. The store itself is disorganized and cluttered and impossible to move around with other shoppers inside. But the real problem is the owner she is a crotchety, nasty old lady. She seemed to be doing anything in her power to get people not to spend money in her store she aggressively told customers not to drink coffee and if they spill it they buy it. She passively asked me if I was knocking books on the ground (which I wasn’t) and she told my girlfriend “no Taking photos of the books” which is ridiculous then as I was walking out (I was going to buy a book but decided against us after she was obnoxiously rude to us i heard her telling other customers to put their phones away because “we do not allow comparative shopping here” if you plan on shopping for a book do yourself and the wicked old lady that owns this place a favor and go somewhere else, as she clearly doesn’t need or want the business.

Questions & Answers

Hi. We are moving to Yarmouth Port and we have a wonderful selection of books. Do you accept donations?

I would call to verify. When I was there about a month and a half ago, I think I saw a sign indicating that they weren't currently accepting book donations.

Does any one know anything about the movie which has been filming here? Is it a ‘big screen’ movie or a TV movie?

I've been working on it. It's AJ Fikry, would say it's more of an indie movie. Something you would see at a film festival before it's released to streaming. But there is some big name actors in it. And the filming went well so I think it should turn out to be a pretty good movie. One of the few movies I worked on that I'm actually looking forward to watching, if that says anything. And to give retrospect, I've worked on transformers and divergent and a bunch of other big shows. I've heard it's been picked up by universal, Netflix, and or Hulu.

If I put a request for a gift enclosure note in the comment section when I order, will the receiver get a note from me with the book?
