Is this place closed? I’ve gone by three times in the last two weeks and it’s always closed.

Hooray for the Oldtown Book Nook! I had driven past this little place quite a few times, and finally had the chance to make it in. The owner, Lynne, was very friendly and informative. She gave me a little tour, as well as helped me try to find some books on my «to read» list. Most books range in the 1 – 4 dollar range, and are in pretty good condition. Heads up: if you «like» them on Facebook, they have daily posts of new books that come in, and if you see one of interest they will hold it for you! This is definitely one of my new favorite spots!

I have been here twice. I found great books each time. The staff were nice and willing to help me find books, but also gave me time to look around without bugging me. Some of the sections need expanding (i.e. psychology, sociology, philosophy. etc). That being said, they have many great books. Nice place to go find a book.

I went to this book store after spotting it while driving down South Main Street. I’ve passed it several times but I kept forgetting to go in. I went in and received a wonderful welcome. They have a nice little selection of children’s books and were very attentive. Their prices are amazing and on point especially for someone like me who is looking to start a classroom library. Their books were also in very good condition. I highly recommend this store.

Book Nook has thousands of really good used books and other media items like videos and dvds. The owners know their inventory well and have even more books that can’t yet fit into the store space. Jeff and Lynne are very knowledgeable and helpful!
