Elliott Healy Books, Prints, and Antiques
We had very little idea of what to expect (and do) when we went to Maine. Sure, drive along the coast, eat lobster, browse through antique shops. Some things got old after a while, but one thing we found ourselves doing was spending hours perusing the shelves of used book stores.
The best we saw, by far, was Elliott Healy Books, Prints, and Antiques in Wiscasset. Extremely well-curated by a retired English professor, his collection is impressive to say the least, with an exceptional array of collectable books - art and children's books especially - laid out amongst a rich assortment of antiques and hand-selected items from around the world. Behind the front shop is a beautiful Asian-inspired garden leading to a barn filled with a thousands of other thoughtfully selected books and items.
As far as we know, Elliott Healy refuses to jump on the Amazon wagon, so the only way to get access to his outstanding collection is by visiting the shop.
