Yorktown Bookshop — Local services in Gloucester Point

This could be a great used bookstore/antique shop except for the elderly man who runs the store. While I was initially excited to browse through their selection of books and vintage merchandise, my encounter with the elderly man who ran the store left a sour taste in my mouth. His lack of basic courtesy was disheartening, and it overshadowed any positive aspects the store might have had. When I brought my selection of one used book and one vintage political campaign button to the checkout counter, he did not know the prices.
