Wow! This place is awesome! It literally feels like you are walking into some type of alternate reality where magic exists! I was half expecting a bunch of fairy's to flutter out from behind one of the leather bound books. Perhaps a knight was about to ask me to aide him in a noble quest as I turned a corner into the fantasy section. This store oozes with the authenticity and wonder that has now been all but lost to the realm of modern book stores. It isn't the size of a mega book retailer, but that's a good thing. There aren't people shouting for muffins and coffees as an employee frantically restocks blue rays and a group of teens walk by - cackling at the nudity in a book of classical renaissance paintings. This store is lined wall to wall with books. It is also put inside what appears to be the mansion of some old sea captain! Perhaps it was the entrance hall to his dwelling on Cape Cod of long ago. The air smells of fresh lavender and crisp library paper - a subtle node of sea salt lingers as well. There is also lots of cool new age stuff and fun metal jewelry and crystal. This place is like a witch and wizard watched "page master," and decided to move to Cape Cod for a simpler life. The prices are phenomenal, the selection is CRAZY big, and the woman working the cash register was quite possibly the sweetest person I have ever interacted with. Usually I would say "support this small town business" but this time I'm saying "DONT MISS OUT!" Because it's that good!! Happy hunting y'all!

Wow! I'm from LA and we don't have anything like this! So cool and authentic. I went with my boyfriend and traded him for books! Just kidding. I bought the books. My boyfriend and I did have trouble leaving this place. They have delicious locally made jams and chocolates. A wonderful chair to sit in and read. Thank god they had cards and toys for my younger cousins birthday. It was the whole reason we were on cape and I had forgot to get anything. What turned into a mistake became a blessing because we were able to leave with stuffed animals, coloring books, and a silly story about a boy and his peach monster! They even ran into the back to get me a colorful pen to sign the card with. The world would be a better place with more people like the ones who run this store.
