Read moreSherman's is a local Maine bookstore with a great selection of books as well as toys, puzzles, journals and other trinkets; I always enjoy stopping in on my way through Freeport and pouring through the walls of books.

If you're looking for a great bookstore with good prices, helpful staff, and an inviting atmosphere; look no further...
