Went browsing in here today real quick. They have some items…read morethat are new and full price (although the full price is still Marshall's/T.J.Maxx type of low). They also have most of their items price tags marked with different colored dots. Like if the item has a blue dot on the price tag, there is an additional 25% off, or a different colored dot for 50% off, etc. I wish I had more time to look as they had brands like Pink Rose and Jolt that I enjoy. There also seems to be a good sized dressing room as well.

Very easy to schedule, very reasonably priced. We stopped in a week later to pick up the finished pieces and decided to paint a few more. Despite the fact there was another party going on, they were able to accommodate my party of 4 as well as several other drop in crafters. Great place to go, especially on a rainy day. Hope to try the beading next time or host a painting party.

I don't know if it was because we only had 4 kids that absolutely no one that worked here checked on us once to see how we were doing. The owner seemed miserable. One of the little girls in our group broke the leg of one of her pieces as she was painting so we asked the owner if she could help us... or glue it back together. She had an attitude right away and said "I mean I can try gluing it but I'm not promising you anything" and it was in front of everyone and it was very awkward. She didn't even seem at all concerned or like she wanted to help us. I personally won't go back here and I won't recommend the place to anyone due to the attitude and lack of service. Thankfully the girls had fun since they're all four and five they didn't notice. But it was awkward like I said for the adults.

I regret that I don't have any photos to add to this review. The day I went to Harbor Books, it was…read morepouring down rain. My date and I walked to the bookstore in the pouring rain, and not only did I not want to get my phone wet, I also didn't want to have to keep her waiting for me under the downpour any longer than was necessary. I guess I'm a nice guy...Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone! When I realized I would be meeting someone for a date in the area, I went online to see what Old Saybrook has to offer on a Sunday. I hadn't been to Old Saybrook in at least a couple years, and I'm not too up-to-date on the goings on in the area. My search turned up a small cafe nearby...and Harbor Books. After a small but pleasant lunch, we walked to Harbor Books in the rain. Upon first walking in, I noticed a $1.00 bin where all the books were on sale for, yep, a dollar. I noticed one title in there I decided I would pick up and purchase on the way out (I did), one of Mary Higgins Clark's older novels, hardcover, in excellent condition. Looking through Harbor Books, I quickly realized I would need much more time in there than I suspected my date was willing to spend. I guessed 5 hours. No joke. Not only do they have a great selection of titles, they also have a great selection of vintage and antique books. Many of which are in excellent shape and are marked with a great price. There are probably more antique books in this little bookstore than at the antique shop a couple towns away, that has a ton of books. Five hours is likely an understatement. While looking through the bookshelves, I happened upon a book by a local author whom I had met at least a couple times, now about 10 years ago. I picked up the book, and asked the store owner how long he had had that book in stock. He estimated 7-8 years. I put the book back on the shelf, stepped away, then immediately turned back and grabbed it. After bringing the book home, along with a couple others I purchased along with it, I looked up the author online, wondering what he might be up to these days. Turns out he's up to nothing. He's dead. He died about 4 years ago, while his book was sitting on the shelf of this little bookstore, waiting years for me to come and pick it up. I got to thinking: what are the odds? This book, which I am certain had a very small print run, sat on a shelf waiting 7 or 8 years for me to find it, authored by a man I had met 10 years ago, who is now dead. I took it as a sign that the copy of the book had always been mine, waiting there on that shelf until just the right circumstances led me into Harbor Books and to it. The thing is, I'm willing to bet Harbor Books is JUST the right kind of store for that sort of thing. And I think the next time I go in there, I'll likely find something else that was there waiting for me, somewhere in those tightly-packed shelves. What will I find when I go there next? And will it really take 5 hours? We shall see.

My husband and I were in Old Saybrook for an overnight stay. We stayed at a local B and B, had…read moredinner at Penny Lane Pub on Saturday night and attended a wonderful blues concert at The Kate. Sunday morning we had breakfast at Mirsina's which was delicious. We then took a walk on Main Street. We were talking about what a sweet town this is and the friendliness of all the people we interacted with. We enjoy book stores and decided to explore Harbor Books. When we walked in, we greeted the woman at the desk. She was the wife/ owner I believe. We made small talk and looked around for books we might want to buy. During this time, a male patron came in and was talking about a 20th century European history book he had read and asked for help finding 2 other out of print books by the same author. I was preparing to make a purchase of at least 1 or 2 hardcover novels and my husband was interested in local history. A conversation took place between the owner and patron and was pointedly opinionated political talk that was very disturbing and inappropriate. Needless to say, we abruptly left. I am sorry our wonderful overnight was marred by hateful this experience. I will never go there again.

And while we didn't have time to partake, they have an amazing crafting area in the shop. Prices are amazing and comparable to other online-only shops. They even offer a loyalty program. Overall impression - this shop is amazing and deserves more than 5 stars.
