Bookshops in Old Town
North Lantern Books
A used bookshop with the best-curated shelves we've found, and staff who read everything.
9out of 10
North Lantern is the kind of shop you walk into for one book and leave with four. The shelves are packed but organized, and nearly every section has a handwritten card from a staff member recommending something.
We asked for a novel set in a coastal town. Within a minute, the owner had pulled three options and explained the differences between them.
Most paperbacks are $4 to $8. Trade-in credit is generous, which keeps the stock fresh.
What's good
- Thoughtful staff picks with handwritten notes
- Strong local history and poetry sections
- Fair trade-in credit for your old books
What's not
- Narrow aisles are hard to navigate with a stroller
