Item Description
$25 gift certificate to Longfellow Books - How Portland Does a Bookstore!
From "The Indie Bob Spot," October 28, 2014:
Here's the skinny about Longfellow Books in Portland, ME. Thriving and successful going on 14 years. A featured indie in, My Bookstore, by Ron Rice. An email newsletter delivered to over 15,000 people. A locally owned, award-winning business. A knowledgeable and friendly staff and an extremely passionate owner. Basically, this indie kicks butt and takes names!
This place has an energy and vibrancy that is undeniable. The whole time during my visit there were customers coming and going. The store has new and used books and many sidelines, but not overwhelmingly so. Newspapers, magazines, assorted greeting cards and novelties can all be found here. The sidelines are important to the profit margin but make no mistake the books are the main story (pun intended!) here. The customer base is strongly local and the store is totally engaged. Author events are frequent and held on site in this one-level store, but occasionally will be held at another venue depending on the crowd. There is a cat here in this independent and if you visit and think it is absolutely the most adorable creature on earth, you can adopt it and take it home. Lots of indies have cats, how many let you adopt one? What a great public service.
