What an incredible little used book store! It's quaint and the owner is so friendly. He has amazing stories, a wide knowledge base on books, and great prices. Definitely wanted to support his business.

Awesome little cash-only bookstore on the second floor. Found lots of interesting books here as we were passing through on our way home to PA. Definitely worth a stop if you love to shop for used books!

Outstanding selection of used books. I picked up some Nabokov and Wallace Stegner. Can’t wait to start them.

Nestled in the heart of downtown, this charming book store will transport you back in time. The knowledgeable owner lovingly curates an impressive collection of books, both new and old, with something to entice every reader. From classic literature to obscure titles, I spent hours getting lost in the stacks. The cozy atmosphere, complete with creaky wooden floors and overstuffed armchairs, made for the perfect reading nook. This shop is a rare gem in an age of digital convenience, and a must-visit for any book lover! The owner was as intrigued with the book I was reading as I was. He was a joy to talk to! I really don't want his place to go under so I truly recommend stopping by and buying a book! He has the place organized to the point where you can tell him the book you want and he will lead you straight to it! He sells his books for pretty cheap. So maybe leave him a extra tip . If you read all of this I want you to know I am not some white suburban mom, I am a young teen who loves sending my vacation time at Stone Soup Books! (I am not a nerd)

Camden landmark. It's located on Main Street in the heart of Camden. A flight of stairs takes you to a small, cluttered seemingly disorganized room stacked full of books, books and more books. That familiar smell that only comes from an old book tells you you've found the perfect old and used book store. If you want your bookstore to be brightly lite, spacious with organized sections clearly marked, go to Barnes & Noble.

It's the cutest little bookstore wedged in between two average-sized businesses so it's very easy to walk by repeatedly & never notice it. But it's unique & worth a visit.

This place is awesome. Jammed full of books so I asked for assistance and the owner knew exactly where the books were in a place that would have given Dewey decimal a stroke

This is the type of bookstore you want to visit. Nothing fancy, pretty messy, but filled with good used books. Always a pleasure to hunt down my next book there.

I used to vacation in Camden in the late 80s and early 90s. I also attended the Center for Creative Imaging taking design and graphics courses, lodging at The Maine Stay. I regularly shopped for books at Stone Soup. (I chuckle when I say the name of the shop knowing the story behind it). I bought about a dozen books there are on the history of Maine and its coast. Today I received a copy of "Kaiko Moti." Back when I visited your shop I owned a copy of the book (to go with 5 prints of his that my wife and I owned) I lost the book. On a whim I searched Amazon and found a copy. I came today. I am thrilled twice over. First to receive a replacement copy and second, to see where I was sourced. I am so happy that your wonderful independent book store is still open for business.

This gem of a book shop was exactly what my dad and I were hoping for when we ran out of reading material on vacation. Stacks to the ceiling, something for everyone, great for browsing. Was wonderful to find open during the off-season.
