“Best place if you want to buy something special for your favorite goofball/group of goofballs.
They did an amazing Pride display this year where sales some of the sales went to the Equality Community Center in Portland.
The staff is always so friendly and the manager Connor helped me pick out the best puzzle that my husband I now have displayed in our kitchen!”
“Every time I've bought something here, the staff has been incredibly patient, humorous, and quick (which is an important characteristic to have when one is working a c-store in an airport where people are always go-go-go). This is my usual stop to grab gum before boarding, but there have been times I've swung by for other things (drinks, gifties, random H&B stuff)... Once I needed twelve (of the same) Maine-type things to bring with me to New York. The lady working that day took the time to go over with me everything in the store she thought was appropriate, and everything that was labeled as a "Maine" thing but was really made elsewhere (and her suggestion as to why I should avoid it; gotta love salt of the earth people who defend our humble state like it's the only one that matters). I thought that service very over-the-top nice. Recently, I found a giant bag of Takis for just .49 cents. I was baffled at the low price, so I had to get them (regardless that I would probably only eat three or four). The gentlemen ringing me up warned me against buying them because of how excruciatingly hot they were... he also suggested buying a six pack when I landed to help wash them down. We had a moment then, him and I, laughing about Takis and beer like we had some inside joke and were old friends... something that wouldn't happen at most other airport's c-stores, but in Portland, ME? Commonplace. Can't go wrong with a clean airport store that sells the basic necessities and does so in a personable and timely manner, so CNBC News gets my vote!”

“This place is a great discovery. great assortment of used books, blue rays DVDs VHS, games and consoles. the price is very fair and if you're lucky you can nab some great discounts on cool stuff. the staff is also very helpful and friendly. Great place to spend an afternoon or late evening since they close at 10. will keep coming back here whenever we visit Portland.”
“Was waiting for a rack to be installed on my jeep so I went over to Books-A-Million, picked up a book by Malcolm Gladwell, sat down in their cafe, had a coffee, wonderful experience.”
“This place is fantastic! These folks are clearly book lovers and the care with which that curate their selection is impressive. And, should they not carry a title that you are looking for, they are always happy to look into ordering it for you!On a personal note, I have a niece with ASD who tends to touch pretty much everything. Unlike some other bookstores we've tried, never once have the folks at Bookworm been overly strict or unkind about this behavior.I highly recommend this store to all lovers of reading!”
