“Truly a magical feeling place. The owners are so kind and in addition to many books, there’s lot of maps and other fun purchasable items. 🤍”
“Such a lovely little store! Got a beautiful art puzzle, they had loads of fun looking games. People were in there playing a game together, staff was wicked nice. Can't wait to go back!”
“Very cool little bookstore on main st in gorham. The workers are knowledgeable and there is a great selection. Plus anything you want they can order to the store for you. Definitely recommend checking it out and supporting a local business”
“I absolutely love this shop! It's a large space with a good variety of both older and modern, used books. It's run by a very kind gentleman whome I found to be quite helpful! Being a local myself, I'll definitely be frequenting this place as much as I can before the season ends.”
“This store is beautifully chaotic. You could look around here for hours, but you don’t need to! The staff is extremely helpful and sweet. The green hand is easily my favorite bookstore and one of my favorite places to visit in Portland!”
“5/5 perfect visit, I have been going here since I was a kid.
I got to geek out with Jada who was awesome, I would have probably talked to them all day about loki all day had it been socially acceptable. Also the owner was awesome too, it wasn't weird that I had magic cards to show them I love that they are that chill, you can't buy that.
They have an amazing location, I mean amazing it's super cozy in the heart of Portland, awesome selection and storefront! 5/5 would geek out with Jada about loki again.”
“Cute bookstore! Decent amount of variety with sections such as fiction, non-fiction, science, puzzles, and manga. Has a bargain section. Items outside the bargain section are also fairly priced. Clean and quiet store. Kind and helpful staff.”

“The kind of used-book shop you love to stumble into: categories identified by slips of paper pinned or taped to the lips of shelves, books stuffed and spilling from the stacks and piled in aisles, and the kind of quiet that can only be found when you’re surrounded by thousands of din-quieting pages.”
“I stopped into Print briefly at the end of the store’s day, but it was enough time to see that this is a great local bookshop. The staff were helpful and friendly; recommendations are posted throughout the shelves; the space was easy and fun to explore; and they had a whole section dedicated to zines! I wish I had visited them before my last day of my trip to Portland. Definitely on the list if we ever get back up there.”

“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!”
“My Granddaughter and I frequent this bookstore every Tuesday. She has a blast with the life-size animals they sell and all the stuffies. She currently is addicted to the snakes they sell and insists in covering herself with them! Great bookstore with a wonderful childrens section.”
“Every person I've met in 2022 at Southern Maine community college has been absolutely amazing from the students to the professors and I'm sure you will find amazing people at the student bookstore on campus at Southern main community college”
“This is the cutest little book shop and they have such a wide selection to choose from!!! From children's to classics to romance to non-fiction to Portland-focused historical/geographical books, any reader could find joy in the pages fostered within these walls. Not to mention - there are trinkets, gifts, utensils, and treats galore! The staff was also super nice and helpful, which always makes a big difference. We've only been visiting the Portland area for a couple weeks and we've already been there 3 times, and we'd love to go back again!”
“Great coffee shop inside we always grab drinks before we start walking around. They have a huge manga selection hands down the best around the state of maine worth the drive from central maine. For the booktok novels my wife is always happy with the selection. Highly recommend.”
“Nice selection, great staff who make helpful suggestions. I participate in their used book return program and think it's useful. You get credits for future purposes.”

“There hasn't been a time I've been in Maine when I haven't prioritized a trip to this Bullmoose location. It's a retail media outlet so you might think they must all be similar, but there seems to be a magic formula here. I always find something I've been looking for or something new I end up loving.”
