The nice people who work for Longfellow were one of the reasons my wife and I moved to Portland, ME. Three cheers for Longfellow!

Longfellow is my favorite bookstore in Portland! I like the people, the atmosphere, and of course the selection of books.

I didn't realize when I moved out of Maine that one of the things I would miss most were the independent book sellers. These are gems in a beautiful city.

Well, there aren't sellers anymore—just one, unfortunately.

Update on this: We went through a period of just one indie. We now have at least four—Longfellow, Print, Sherman's and Back Cove Books. That's not even counting The Green Hand, which now has some new books and is great generally.
