What travelers are saying

Chestertown at it's finest- great selection, environmentally friendly, really beautiful selection of imported pottery as well!

The staff was very helpful to my wife and myself and searching all the nooks and crannies of this cozy little shop was very enjoyable.

The owner, Tom, is welcoming and well-informed and always very helpful.

The smell of old books!

A used book store that is fun to browse thru...also has beautiful hand decorated Portuguese pottery. A small selection of French books reminded me of my student days in Paris years ago.They also have several cozy reading rooms with Persian carpets.
