Kelmscott Bookshop's website is accessible and informative, and if you love the Pre-Raphaelites, it is absolutely a location you have to support when you're in Baltimore. They took great care during Covid-19 Era with pick-up and careful deliveries, and are easy to talk to and communicate with. The only thing I am sad about is not being able to visit the Bookstore IRL and see the cats.

The place is three floors, all filled with beautifully arranged books, mostly old, but also new. The genres are all clear and the different books live in their own rooms, which I think is super cute. You can get lost in the home of languages for appetizers, then move on to fiction for main course, and finally biographies and memoir and art for dessert. The staff are unbelievably nice and helpful. Besides all of this, there are exotic masterpieces you might come across, like I saw a framed page of an old Persian poem (which is my mother tongue). It was such a bliss.
