Gulf of Maine Books

for over 40 years, an independent bookstore in downtown Brunswick , Maine, with a wide selection of titles. Special interests include regional titles, poetry, international fiction, First Nations titles, nature and environmental titles, books for kids, and more, as well as cards, calendars, and puzzles. In 1979 we opened as the town's "hippie alternative" bookstore. The chain stores are gone, and we are still here.
