I LOVE this bookstore. There is an amazing selection of new releases as well as a lovely, well-organized section of used books. Prices are reasonable and I have found some great bargains over the years. The selection of local literature and New England history is also fantastic. In addition, the Toadstool has the most beautiful greeting cards I have ever come across. Leave enough time to leisurely browse; there are SO MANY gems here!
