“This was a great spot to spend some time one afternoon. We really appreciated the well-kept grounds and the information about the plants and trees that was available. What a spectacular way to spend some time outdoors!”
“I am only in Groton for a few months and I keep finding excuses to come back to this spot. They have such a cool selection of old books and the owner and the dogs are always so welcoming. It’s definitely a great place to check out if you ever find yourself in the area.”

53 W Main St, Mystic“A delightful store in just the right place. In a town that struggles with having a tourist trap nearby, this cozy corner is a wonderful place to get books, support an earnest business, and is a needed element of a town looking to be a community.”
“There's something for everyone here. A decent collection of shirts for purchase as well as shot glasses, posters, and various other souvenirs. The ladies working the back desk are nice and helpful should you have any questions!”

313 Flanders Rd, East Lyme“AMAZING store, HUGE & selection jewelry, some of which is hard to find. Tarot/ oracle cards and related supplies, incense gifts ect. Also a great selection of books for the novice or expert on a wide range of topics. I even bought a 2ft brass diety there. I always find something. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and intuitive, down to earth. Always happy to take anything out of the cases for you to look at. I hear the mediums are great I'm going to make an appointment for sure. Rock on!”

591 CT-12, Groton“Good, helpful people.. Great prices on liquor and beer. Normal prices for wine. Open as late as the CT. law allows. Seriously the coldest beer coolers I've ever opened.”
“They have many books to choose from. Always have the newest releases. They have great items to go with books, like mugs and stationary. Those who work there are always friendly and helpful”
“This is my husband's and son's favorite bookstore. When we visit Mystic they actually go every day! They have all kinds of good reads for every interest. Recently, it was expanded to include two large rooms. The front room features new releases and popular, classic novels among others. The room proceeding it features academic subjects such as politics, history, economics, etc. The atmosphere provides a sense of calm, which coincides nicely with the already relaxed atmosphere of Mystic. Before the store itself is a statue of a whale, a hallmark that can be found throughout Connecticut, just as shell statues can be found throughout New Jersey. With beautiful editions of books of every variety, you will not be disappointed!”
“Awesome Record/Cd/Cassette/t-shirt/poster + store.Large Selection, Very Clean store, Friendly Staff ( Mick ) and Owner ( Rich )This isn’t one of those dusty, cringy stores.Price wise they are on par with other stores. I’m a Vinyl Collector which is a pricey hobby. Also there is a lot of fun spots to visit in New London, worth a day trip to find music, food, haircut, etcEnjoy your visit!!”
