I have been into 47 book stores in my life and this one was so accommodating. Unlike the NO book stores I am used to. I asked if they had the latest edition of my favorite book tractors and the men who drive them and even though they didnt have it in stock, they were very apologetic they didnt have it. Even offered to special order it for me. Yes to yes books!

An overwhelming amount of books, but in a good way! They have a fantastic, eclectic selection and we scored some unique finds.The lady who was working there was friendly and told us about the bookstores background. Definitely recommend for any book lovers!

Great spot amazing selection of books and subject will be back. Have been back several times and will continue to return. Staff are super cool and again huge selection of topics and content in those topics.

Great little book store. Definitely worth a visit. Just remember to bring coins for the parking meters.

A classic used book store. It took a minute to figure out how things were organized, but the prices were fair and the selection was pretty large. We only had 15 minutes to spare, but I could have stayed for hours.

What a dream! So many books and they are organized in such a not-so-neat but neat, explorable way. Great prices and I didnt try it but I feel like they would even be negotiable on price. I could spend hours here, I wish I lived closer!

A labyrinth of beautiful books; scored a field guide I had been searching for, which was priced fairly and in great condition!

Found a compendium of T.S. Elliots poems. Been looking for months now. Excellent environment and friendly staff.

Books of every language and every time of every kind. Really cool place

Fantastic Book Store !! Very Knowledgeable and Helpful Staff.Yes Books is one of Jewels of Portland, Maine.

Had a great time and the person working was a fantastic help.

Love it! Bought a 1860s print of some birds. Great selection of books and great atmosphere

Nice extensive selection of different genres

A wonderful used book store. A plethora of titles.

Excellent, if messy, selection of used books at reasonable prices. Cash is king

Pretty large store with an even larger collection of used books. Something for everyone and is kind of fun to get lost in the various hallways of books and stories.

Normally dont review places, but this place deserves it.The place was filled to the brim with so many books and with such a wide variety. I was amazed by the quantity and quality of the books available.The owner was very nice and accommodating, having looked for books by a couple authors I wanted. And in general having a demeanor that made him seem passionate about the place and the books. If youre looking for anything philosophy, youll likely be able to find it.

Real talk this is one of the best book stores Ive ever been to. Not super organized but its hard to be with this volume of books. Excellent prices, selection, and location

If you enjoy a place piled high with shelves (& stacks) of eclectic used books--think of a magical old library--youll enjoy this place. You step off the chaotic street and into a tiny, quiet shop that is actually bigger inside than it seems. Books are organized by genre, and the owners are knowledgeable about what they have.Be prepared, though, for narrow aisles. Not for the claustrophobe.

Found some good reads and I will be going back.

This bookstore is absolutely full to the brim with shelves and stacks of books. If you prefer more modern or sparse stores, youll want to go elsewhere, but for me, this is the perfect store.

Such An Amazing Place. Great Selection And When They Dont Have What You Want They Are Happy To Order It And It Takes Only 2 to 3 Days To Arrive.Staff Are Sweet And Friendly.

Needs more lighting and prices are hit or miss

A great selection and a cool intellectual atmosphere

Amazing piled up second hand bookstore with treasures stacked in every corner. Well organized and shabby chic. This is how bookstores should be!

Lots and lots and lots and LOTS of books. The guy working was also very polite and nice! He let my hold the books i wanted until i could come back and pay for them! Very big selection of books Ive never seen before!

Large, used bookstore crammed with a very wide range of books. A bibliophile can spend hours browsing the shelves and stacks. Located in the heart of Portland, Maine.

Very cute space, fun to meander around in if you just want to find something neat. Literal piles of books, including all sorts of odd things. Wouldnt recommend for more purposeful searching.

Great unassuming bookstore with an impressive selection of fairly priced books, I could spend an hour here at least.

Cozy bookstore with friendly staff that seems to have every book you could possibly need at a good price.

It is a chaotic, beautiful, organized mess! You can get lost in there and love very minute of it!

Owner went out of his way to help me find a (relatively obscure) book. Very nice bloke

People were rude and disrespectful. I drove 2 hours to go to this store and left 2 seconds after being in there what a disgrace of a book shop, they lost a lot of business because of this. Would not recommend.

If you are an avid collector with eclectic taste.

Great bookstore, loaded with titles, some of which are out of print gems, all reasonably I priced, owner/s really know their business and stock.

Book lovers dream of all kinds of bound pages and subjects. A must see for those who love reading.

Stumbled upon this precious gem fun stuff to read for hours very relaxing and clean friendly atmosphere

Notvopen when they were supposed to be. Long walk for nothing.

Stop by this place Everytime Im in Portland, have picked up some gems for a great price.

Popped-in Yes with a box of books to sell. Proprietor was busy with two people ahead of me. We all chatted like pals, while I perused the shelves looking for someone special to jump out at me. Ended up getting a few bucks for a coupla paperbacks then dropped the rest off at neighborhood Little Free Libraries on my way home.Owner is super friendly, apologized for my having to wait so long. Anywhere near stacks and stacks of books makes me happy so I didnt mind at all.I just appreciate having a used bookstore in town...especially when I can unload some and get a bit o pocket money!

Very good experience. Owner was very helpful.

Very nice little bookshop

If you like to get lost among stacks of eclectic categories of books, then this is the book store for you!

The best used bookstores look like a hedge maze and smell like an attic. Take time to get lost in this haphazard collection

Super helpful and kind

An absolute pleasure to go to if you dont have a specific book in mind

Owner isnt very friendly, gets suspicious if you look but dont buy anything. Pretty overpriced, but good selection

Completely packed used bookstore with all kinds of stuff from illuminati/conspiracy theory stuff to classic fiction

Lots and lots of books to choose from, but a bit overpriced for a used book place.

Not orginized at all. Theirs stuff piled up and every where on the floor on chairs. Every where

I hope Im not in there in an earthquake!

Disappointed that they were not open by 10am as posted

Good price

Spend hours browsing...

Best book store in Maine!!!!!!
