hello hello books

We are proud to be Rockland, Maine's local independent bookshop.

We carry high quality new and used books, as well as a careful selection of unusual cards, magazines and merchandise.

We were one of five finalists for Publishers Weekly's 2019 Bookstore of the Year. You've seen us in the New York Times; Downeast Magazine; New York Magazine; Maine Magazine; the Boston Globe; Yankee Magazine, and on bookmarks scattered throughout Midcoast Maine.
 

OUR MISSION:

To foster an active and vocal enthusiasm for books and print culture in a screen-centric world; offer out-of-the-ordinary merchandise and gifts; cultivate community and advocate for social justice; and to do all of this with an independent spirit.
