Nice little store. Good selection and well set out, especially the children's and teens' first floor. Loved the staircase! Rather fixed on NOT reading the books before buying, which makes you a little on edge if wanting to check the writing of a new author. Probably this is management's diktat - wouldn't blame staff (seasonal college students from overseas). Personally I managed to browse through a book before buying it for myself, and thorough another for my daughter, which I didn't buy because unsuitable. Nobody stopped me! Would recommend.
We visited this adorable bookstore this afternoon and had a wonderful time exploring the engaging selection of books and the beautiful and unique paper goods. Everything was fairly priced (which was a pleasant surprise for a shop in a tourist destination) and the selection was curated for the perfect gift/travel read book store. Definitely recommend.
Have always loved this bookstore. An Edgartown favorite!
The clerk not friendly asked if I was going to buy the book. I told her I was reading through to see if I wanted to get it. Rude.
I have never had such a negative experience at a bookstore. Generally, bookstores are a haven for free thinking and friendly interaction, but my time at Edgartown Books proved just the opposite. I am an adult and when asking about a card game for adults was firmly and loudly scolded by one of the older attendants in front of everyone in the store. She was judgmental and cutting - pretty much yelling at me about inquiring about this game. I was with my younger brother who, while asking about kids books they were all sold out of, was startled by the interaction and became upset about it.
