Thomas Isaiah Books & Prints

Are you a fan of spelunking, books, and cats? Well, this place is for you!
This book store is tucked away in Cotuit, MA kind of out of the way of most places tourists go on the Cape. It’s pretty much an old house that’s (literally) packed to the rafters with books. You can find everything from biography, fiction, non-​fiction, and reference books here. There’s even some old first editions hanging around. Browsing through the store is akin to treasure hunting– with so many books all over the place you have to really go digging to find some. It can be a bit crazy, but that’s part of the appeal, I think.
There’s also a cat that roams around the bookstore. He’s really friendly. The guy behind the counter was friendly too. Next time I’m even near the cape I’ll be sure to stop by.

If you’re a fan of old books, out of print books and books you never knew existed but will have to have when you find them this is the place.
It’s not BOOK OFF so don’t expect to find junky piles of cheap used books, but what you will find are piles and piles and stacks and racks of collectible books and more. Expect to spend a few hours here. Great bookstore!

an awesome attic
full of funky unique books
the cat is a regal companion
no pesky chirpy clerks

Wonderful place to go on a rainy day and get lost in the stacks… Hard-​to-​find titles and antique treasures. Something for every budget. Love this place!
PS: Ask about the ghost!

I think, perhaps, this bookstore probably has the best selection of unique material I’ve found on Cape Cod thusfar. If you’re a used bookstore fan, give yourself time to browse… because you WILL spend at least an hour here. Their nonfiction section is to die for AND they have some reasonably priced antiquated books. (Some… not all).
it is a little pricy but it’s up to you to decide what is and isn’t worth it. If you find something you love, sometimes it’s worth spending a little extra and supporting local business all in one.

A really friendly spot to browse and poke around, this used book store is easy to find, right on the main route. The building is beautiful and there’s plenty of parking in the front. If you get on the mailing list, you’ll be informed about the annual sale every winter. (He does have limited hours in the winter, though, so be sure to check that out.)
I have picked up some unique books here over the years, however nothing is a bargain. The owner really knows his material and is also very helpful. It’s not an easy business to be in these days. Used book stores have been struggling to stay in business due to all of the sales on the Internet. But most collectors prefer direct contact with a book and will travel far in order to spend time in a place like this.
Large section of locally relevant books and all kinds of literature, poetry, art books, etc. He also has some very expensive first editions and rare books which are always fun to look at. He’ll tell you more about them if he has time. If you want to educate yourself about book collecting, he also sells all kinds of material to help you out. Very addictive hobby, though, I am warning you.
When I have some extra time on my hands and am on the Cape, I always stop in here and seldom leave without a new addition for my bookshelf.

Cool used & rare bookstore. Lots of neat prints. Can get a little expensive but a great place to go to find that special book. My brother is getting a doctorate in 18^th century lit and has found originals here that aren’t available anywhere else in the country. Very cool.
