Camden is my favorite place to visit in Main, and the Owl and Turtle is probably my favorite Maine bookstore.
Owl and Turtle Bookshop Café | Camden, Maine
When I'm in the Portland area, Sherman's is a must.

I don't get to the Farmington area that often, but when I do, a stop at DDG is on my agenda.
Devaney Doak & Garrett Booksellers
If you're Down East, you'll know about this small shop.

Another Portland area shop worth the stop
Letterpress Books
Portland's largest independent store.

New Hampshire
When I'm in the Great North Woods, the book shop in Littleton is where I spend rainy days. Secret: check out the used books in the very back room.
Little Village Toy & Book Shop
A long time favorite.
Toadstool Bookshops
I spend more hours in Gibson's than any other when I'm in NH.
Gibson's Bookshop
Books, beer, what else is there?
Reedmor Books & Brews
New York (upstate)
Excellent book shop in my former (and maybe again) home town. Their original store in Manchester, VT is my favorite Vermont store.
Northshire Saratoga
You might not expect such a complete and active book store in a small town like Cambridge, but both are exceptional.
Battenkill Books Bookshop
Nevada
A hidden prize not exactly off the beaten path.
Las Vegas Books Bookshop
The newest shop and it's a real find in the neighborhoods south of the airport.
Mad Red Books Bookshop
The og independent store in Las Vegas
The Writer's Block
Vermont
Probably my favorite bookstore in VT. Their sister store in Saratoga Springs, NY is equally excellent.

Massachusetts
Cambridge has two excellent bookstores, but Porter Books is my favorite.
Porter Square Books Bookshop
