Dad really doesn't need another tie. But he could always use another book! How about the new baseball inspired book by Stephen King, Blockade Billy, or the third installment of the Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, or the latest Randall Probert game warden novel, A Grafton Tale. New for the start of summer is a collection of Jeff Dobbs DVDs including Acadia Always, High on Maine, and Maine: America's Coast. We also have some unique gifts especially for dad like Pop Pops bottle openers. And for the man who needs some scent inspiration, Man Cave Candles - manly scented candle in pint glasses made in Benton, Maine by Castine Candle Company. Don't forget dad this year!

It's National Children's Book Week! Sure you know Miss Rumphius, Mike Mulligan, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Strega Nona, but have you met the Duchess of Whimsy, Louise the Big Cheese, Grandpappy Snippy Snappers, or Llama Llama? Celebrate the classic, and soon to be classic, book characters with the characters in your life. Children's books make great graduation gifts as well!

Mother's Day is this Sunday. Don't be caught unprepared. Willow Trees, sun catchers, and recipe holders oh my! Can't decide which is the perfect gift for mom?

We're open 9 to 5 as usual Sunday so there's no excuse not to show mom just how great she is!

Sure we got 4 inches of snow Saturday...but that doesn't mean you can't plan the great backyard garden! How about new flowers to brighten the lawn, a new garden structure to hang plants from (and impress your neighbors with!), or a veggie garden that can be preserved through next winter? We have garden books to cover all these topics, and more!

The Average Hippopotamus
The average hippopotamus
is big from top to bottomus,
it travels at a trotamus,
and swims when days are hotamus.
Because it eats a lotamus,
it's practically a yachtamus,
so it's a cinch to spotamus
the average hippopotamus.
-Jack Prelutsky
