The most precious little shop I’ve ever seen. It is intimate and cozy. Quite literally packed floor to ceiling with books. It is an experience. We had done no research prior to our visit and were pleasantly surprised by a visit from the owner’s beautiful cat. It was our first trip to Portsmouth and I can’t wait to come back simply to stop in this store again. I snagged a signed copy of a book I’d been eyeing. Truly a must see on any trip to Portsmouth or the surrounding area!

I love the vibe and the random book selection. Anything from collector books to new literature.

Delightfully protective bookshop! I was strolling about Portsmouth, whistling, as I often tend to do when that cozy sensation of chirpiness regarding existence swells within me, when I was abruptly besieged by a diabolical gang of pugnaciously pesky, purloining pigeons. Swooping down in coordinated attacks they pilfered (Oh, lament!) from my very hands a cream-cheese-covered bagel (Oh, lugubrious lament!) and a mother-of-pearl ring (Oh, loquaciously lugubrious lament!) I received from an ex-lover, a flexible accountant from the suburbs of Cleveland. Oh, the pigeons were unrelenting! So mean, so threatening, so audible! I dashed into the nearest refuge....and discovered the peaceful realm of Sheafe Street Books! I immediately 'took a load off' in a comfortable arm chair, and gathered my wits about me. A few deep, meditative breaths, and a purchase of writings by Thich Nhat Hanh and I was prepared once more to face the onslaught of those bizarre pigeons, specifically, and for the oceanic tides of Time, in general. A quiet, well stocked bookshop, I will certainly return when in town again.

Small ? bookstore with lots of new ? and used books. The bookstore is someone's home. You may meet the owners 14 year old cat ?. The cat was in good shape for her age. She didn't greet you but would let you pet her.The books are separated into genres and even the Grateful Dead have their own section.If you like books and want to find a good deal, I recommend this bookstore.

Me and my partner went in to check out books, as well as the great selection of used, services typewriters. We were able to find a typewriter we liked with the help of the shopkeeper, who was very knowledgeable about the units. A+!!
