Each trip we take to Stonington includes a visit to Dockside Books & Gifts. It’s a one room shop right on the harbor and at one end of downtown Stonington. We like to park in the municipal parking lot on the other end of the downtown area, making a nice walk through the town to the bookstore. It’s location has an unobstructed harbor view and the store is chock-full of goodies.
There is a surprisingly large selection of books about Maine and Laurie never leaves without another cookbook from a Maine author and a few books for the grandchildren. I like to pick up a souvenir Maine mug from time to time, though our mug collection at home is getting way out of control.
The last couple of years the owner has been talking with us about selling the store and retiring to Camden. Stopping at Dockside Books & Gifts has become a tradition, do if it is sold I hope it doesn’t change.
