Love this bookstore! Very knowledgeable help who are willing to share their knowledge freely and able to answer all kinds of questions. Was referred to "Ten Thousand Doors of January" as the book I was looking for was not in stock, and I'm so glad it wasn't in stock! This was an excellent choice and I absolutely devoured this book. Will pass along to a dear friend so she can have the joy of reading this book. A customer suggested Red Rising (book 1 of the trilogy) and I am looking forward to diving into that one once I get settled back here. Also love the greeting cards I purchased - unique and perfect! P.S. Don't miss the discount section at the rear of the store. read more

Adorable store! Great prices! Has all my book needs for my children, my husband and myself. Love the rewards program as well and the sweet cat (Luna) that wonders the store! Oh, and they're awesome and will order you books if they don't have them in stock! My daughter wanted a specific book on bugs/insects and they got it in that same week. read more

What a gem of a bookstore. We went to the movie theater and walked across the street to the bookstore. It has everything you would want in a bookstore. My sons and I all found books that we wanted. The workers were super knowledgeable. We will definitely be back. read more

This is one of my absolute favorite bookstores. I always visit whenever I am in town. Always a great selection and friendly and knowledgeable staff...plus a store cat. Sign up for the savings club which is a great value for those who like to read a ton. read more

Love, love, love! This was an amazing bookstore! From the displays to the quirky items to the bookstore cat (Luna) - it had everything a book lover could want. I think we were browsing for well over an hour and still had more to see when we finally paid for our purchases and left. I would be here all the time if I lived locally and am jealous the townspeople have such a cool store. They had a great selection of used books at very affordable prices, plus some bargain bin books outside with some silly finds, and, of course, plenty of current books. Lots and lots of books! They also sold things like greeting cards, toys, local items, and knickknacks. Prices were great on everything - nothing seemed marked up for tourists at all. And you have to pet Luna - she is adorable and friendly. read more

Nice place, good atmosphere, discount book section. I would suggest anyone in the area to check it out.

Great little bookstore. $1 books on the sidewalk! I got 2. I'm a big spender! Friendly staff and air-conditioned. Stop in when your in the area. Keep small businesses alive. read more

Bridgton Books - 2 hardcovers, $2. My kinda place! - Bookstores Near Me - Bridgton, Maine

Whether you're a local, a tourist, or a longtime summer resident, I definitely recommend stopping in to Bridgton Books! I've been going to Bridgton Books since I was a kid, but only recently did I realize how unique they are- their selection is awesome, the owner can basically figure out what book you should next read based on your likes/dislikes, and they have this funky independent bookstore atmosphere. They also don't pressure you to buy like many bookstores do - which makes me all the happier to go back and continue supporting them. Parking is in the back, where BB has a whole lot. While Main Street is great during the winter, it's quite the squish in the summer. read more

Bridgton Books - Bookstores Near Me - Bridgton, Maine

What a spectacular little bookstore, hidden away in the cute town of Bridgeton. Besides the nice new cat, things liked were the recommended reading bookcase in the front of the store and the amazing discounted books in the back of the store. Combine that with the wide selection and helpful staff and we have a real winner here. read more

Great little bookstore in the small town of Bridgton, Maine! There's a wide variety of books and I found they're pricier then other bookstores. The staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions. They hosted a Stephen King book signing back in July. They were super quick at processing my information and the event was a success! Got to meet and chat with Stephen King, get a photo and get a brand new book signed by the horror author himself! Refreshments were also served and the line moved smooth. If your in the area definitely stop by and give it a look! read more

Bridgton Books - Finders Keepers signed by Stephen King. Book signing hosted by Bridgton Books - Bookstores Near Me - Bridgton, Maine

The main reason this is a 3 is because of the used section. It's not in alphabetical order and they aren't kept well at all. The store is small and hard to get around sometimes but nice anyway. The owner of the store knows everything about anything and will help you with anything you could possibly ask for, it's a nice little store and something you should checkout if your in town. read more

A funky, quirky independent bookstore! Located in an old building, the floors are uneven, the furnishings and fixtures are old .... but Bridgton Books has character! The selection is surprisingly broad and updated for such a small-town bookstore. The staff is friendly and helpful ... true "book people". This is such a refreshing change from the world of big box book warehouses with no personality and online mega-retailers. Give these guys a try and Buy Local!! Bridgton Books is a perfect local experience. Enjoy the adventure! read more

Best bookstore! Staff is incredibly informative, have fantastic suggestions. Independently owned so reviews are from actual people! Justin, Pam and their family are super fun and have a great selection of books, cards and gifts. read more

Bridgton Books - The employee said his name was Sergey, though if I worked here, I would give every inquiring customer a different name to add to his legacy. - Bookstores Near Me - Bridgton, Maine

I love this bookstore! During the first months of Covid they did everything they could to help me get books to my mom and to kids in the area who were shut off from libraries and school lending libraries. The owners are knowledgeable, kind and incredibly responsive. They also have great gifts and fabulous !! Cards for all occasions. It's wonderful to have a local, independent bookstore in town. Their used book section has been beautifully organized by genre recently so don't let that stop you! read more

I wish that we had a bookstore like this where I lived. This a quaint, quirky bookstore that is throughly part of the fabric of Bridgton. This bookstore has been a staple of our summer vacations for the past decade. The owners and staff are knowledgeable and have great recommendations for must reads. A stop in the Sebago Lake region would not be complete without a stop at this locally owned gem! read more

This is the best book store ever. It is family owned. They offer a lot of products from the local community. There is a great variety of books, as well as original crafts, games, calendars and other unique items. There is a great bargain book section with a huge selection. It is a great place to hang out on a rainy day. There is a comfy couch and lots of kids stuff. It is a must place to visit if you are in the lakes region. read more

Our whole extended family looks forward to spending time--and money--at Bridgton Books every summer when we spend a week in the area. The year round residents of Bridgton are really lucky to have such a well-rounded and broad range of classic and up to date books to select from. Kerin and Patrick O'Connor Saint Paul, MN read more

Wonderful bookstore. We have been buying books from Pam and Justin since they opened this store. When we vacation in Bridgton each year, many from the lakeside cottages head for Bridgton Books. Suggestions from Pam and Justin as to what we would enjoy reading, are great. In the spring when our grandchildren are celebrating their birthdays, I call Pam or Justin and have a gift certificate sent to each of them. If I read of a book I might like to read, I order it from Bridgton Books. If you are going through Bridgton or staying there--do drop in. They sell puzzles too. Joan read more

Great book store. If you can't find what you want, they will order if for you. Excellent kids section with play area. Very helpful staff. It's a little crowded...not your coffee-house book shop with couches and starbucks, but I like it! read more

Love this book store. Great selection from all major categories. Excellent large bargain book section. I never go in this store without making a purchase. From what I've heard, even Stephen King shops here. No worries about parking. Lots of parking in the town lot across the street. Across from Reny's and the Magic Lantern movie theater, both "go to" destinations. read more
