Super convenient bookstore for me, being right in the Old Port and they tend to have a great selection of current and interesting titles. I like my books a little more dingy, like the bookstore Bastian finds the Neverending Story in, and this is not that store (Portland has a couple!), but they almost always have what I'm looking for. On top of that, the employees are super nice and are awesome with recommendations. If you give them a theme you're looking for, odds are one of them will excitedly tell you about something they're reading or have read. A great place to waste time looking at books while wandering the OP. Some fun gifts, cards, knick knacks as well.

I've been shopping at this bookstore for years! Always great to support a local bookstore and I am thankful they are around. They charge a little more for their books but that is expected and worth it to keep this place afloat, in my opinion. Knocking a few stars because the service isn't great. What ever happened to saying hello to customers who walk into a bookstore? Or asking how they can help find a book? Whatever happened to friendliness and kindness, especially in a business? You certainly will not find that here but I hope this is something the owner can help his/her staff with. Went in today (3/2/24). Lady at the counter was busy on her computer. She never said hello to a single person who walked into that store or even purchased a book. You can do better than that. Whatever was so important on a computer is not more important than humanity!

?Lovely Bookshop - More than Just Books!?This bookshop is bigger than it looks! Genres are clearly marked by sections (everything from manga and D&D, to bargain books and adult nonfiction). There's a nice selection of cards, as well as gifts and toys for sale.The inside is quite literally wall-to-wall bookshelves, with books towering overhead. Any bibliophile will feel quite at home here and be able to spend a fair amount of time browsing. If you're visiting Portland, you can get a great souvenir (or commute-home book).

Going to Sherman's was cool. The place is packed with books, and as always when we go to a bookstore, we came out with some books. I can't complain. Everywhere you look, books and more books - very happy place. The staff was nice, even when I asked after maybe placing my book there - I felt like I was imposing, but then the person behind the counter asked what my book was about, and it was a cool exchange. Nice spot. Easy to find. Full of good things.

The only downside is, it's a small store. That being said they have a good selection of books and related gift items. Worth the visit, I didn't leave empty handed and I will return.

Great choices for books of all types. I was highly impressed by the extensive section of Maine related books and cookbooks - I found a great one called Full Moon Suppers with seasonal recipes specific to Maine for each month. On top of this there are all sorts of little treasures like maps, pencil cases, lucky charms, postcards, journals, decorations, and more. Fell in love with this place from the moment I walked in and staff is always super friendly.

Great bookstore with local main products. Stopped here to pick up a reusable tote bag before starting the day shopping! Plenty of areas to sit and read.

My wife and I stopped here on our honeymoon and we're blown away not just by the variety of book but also art supplies, gifts, toys, souvenirs, locally made candy, and candles. We could've easily spent all day here looking at gifts for friends and family back home. Services was great. I can tell the people who run this store like what they do. It's bookstores like this that keep my reading real book on paper that keep me coming back. Got a copy of Legends and Lattes to go with some post cards, and gifts for family. This store was great :)
