“Yellow Umbrella Books is an underrated treasure trove of books! Few books are forward facing so you’ll either need to know what you’re looking for, or enjoy reading spines. Genres are clear cut. Isles are small. And finding what you want feels like an accomplishment. Although poor in personality, Yellow Umbrella is (in my opinion) a better option for book fanatics than Where the Sidewalk Ends down the road.”
“A new find for a book loving, card loving, gift loving, kid-book buying person like myself. Really love the place. Full of good finds, staff picks, local themed books and gifts. It will be a regular place to go to find treasures and tomes.”

“Warm, friendly, when you walk into this bookstore you feel immediately at home and surrounded by wonderful books, from new-best-sellers to wonderful books for kids, a section of Cape Cod authors, and so much more. A wonderful and cozy experience with a knowledgeable and very helpful staff.”
“Very cute indie bookstore with lots of newer popular reads. Bought Emily Henry and found all of ACOTAR. Not many copies of each one but maybe they had more in the backroom stock. Had lots of hardcovers to also choose from. Everything was very nice.”

“A great selection of new and used books! The owner is friendly and very knowledgable about books and the local area, she gave me great recommendations! Thank you :)”
“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!”
“I've been coming to this store for years, every trip I make to Chatham I always make sure to stop in.
The woman behind the counter is always SO friendly and helpful. She is wonderful!
We came in this past week and I found the exact books I was looking for, and then some. I pray this place never goes away!
What a magical place with amazing staff.
Thank you for all that you do <3”
