Nautical Scribe Books

I spend a lovely hour here a few days ago. The shop is fun and quirky and the book selection is outstanding. Owners Mary and Joe were great to chat with and made me a cup of coffee to sip while I browsed. I came away with far more books than I had intended, but there were so many good ones! I live a couple hours drive away but will certainly return a few times a year.

It’s a good thing I found this place on a whim. Otherwise, I would’ve missed it with all the traffic and other distractions one would usually face on Route 1 (at least during the summer). We were warmly greeted by Mary and discussed the past of Stockton Springs as well as maritime-related matters that are historic to this particular region of Maine. Her dog also greeted us too! With that being said, I will be returning to browse under the beautiful figurehead and purchase more books for my nautical collection.

Excellent collection of new and used nautical books and artwork. Fun and informative owners, Mary and Joe!

Cannot say enough nice things - they are key people to the vanishing nautical culture

If you are looking for out of print maritime books this is a great place to stop at.

Great people great coffee

Love this place!

Magnifique librairie toute en bois. On. A envie d'y passer des heures. Le café est super

Amazing place for all nautical, from history to ship building.
