    Tucked away in Camden, ME, Stone Soup Used Books is a nostalgic treasure. Paul, who's been tending…read morehis shop since 1985, has created a magical space where stories live and linger. With shelves full of fairly priced finds and warm familiarity, it's the kind of place where you can happily lose track of time. I wish I had more space in my suitcase!

    To be clear, I love love love independent used bookstores and this seems like a delightful one. My…read morefamily and I stopped there recently. We were the only ones in the shop and enjoying browsing around and preparing to buy quite a bit. My teenage son, who's autistic, became a bit overheated at one point and started to pace in and out of the store's entrance, which was on the second floor of a building. The owner confronted him and asked him to stop. I replied by asking the owner (earnestly) if his behavior was disrupting business or his work in any way. He said "no, but he's disrupting my sanity." I said that this kind of movement is necessary for my son's comfort, believing it was not incumbent on me to disclose my kid's diagnosis to a stranger. I want to emphasize again that we were the only ones in the store and my son was not getting in the way of anyone coming or going. He said "can't he just walk on the street? I don't see why you're encouraging this behavior." At that point, we put away the items we were going to purchase and left. I understand that men in their seventies are generally not the most inclusive demographic and likely unaware of issues of disability and inclusion, but the experience was shitty and as a business owner in a bustling vacation town in 2026, the store owner needs to educate himself about disability, accessibility, and treating people with respect, even if their behavior isn't typical and especially when their behavior is doing literally nothing to hurt or bother anyone. We won't be back.
