Manchester by the Book
Experience:
Manchester by the Book is a relaxed and casual bookshop in Manchester by the Sea, MA. Their motto is on the door: "Fill your house with stacks of books in all the crannies and all the nooks" (Dr. Seuss). Their shop definitely follows this adage, and it seems to house every book ever written! Outside are bookshelves with bargain books, while inside is an impressive collection of older leather bound ones, some as complete sets. There are tables featuring such interesting books as "The Witchcraft of Salem Village", by Shirley Jackson. Books about local Cape Ann history are displayed, including a shelf dedicated to Salem. There's also a comfy sofa and easy chair for perusing your books. Manchester By The Book is a happy place for book lovers to spend some quality time. We highly recommend a visit if you're ever north of Boston.
Favorite Aspect:
A newly remodeled area of the shop is the children's room, with an impressive assortment of new titles under a colorful mural.
