“A wonderful surprise and one of the highlights of our trip to Newport.
I stopped in expecting to browse for a few minutes and ended up spending much longer exploring the shelves. The collection was thoughtfully curated and had far more depth than many used bookstores I have visited. There was a particularly strong selection of signed editions, first editions, and regional authors.
As a fan of Florida crime and coastal fiction, I was delighted to find books by Randy Wayne White, Carl Hiaasen, and Tom Corcoran, including signed copies and hard-to-find editions. I left with a first edition of Captiva by Randy Wayne White and a signed Tom Corcoran novel—exactly the kind of unexpected treasure that makes used bookstores so enjoyable.
The store strikes a great balance between being organized enough to browse effectively while still allowing for the thrill of discovery. Every shelf felt like it might contain something interesting.
If you love books, especially signed copies, first editions, mysteries, maritime fiction, or simply the experience of hunting for unexpected finds, leave yourself more time than you think you'll need. I certainly wish I had.
