Booklovers love lots of other things, too. So Portrait of a Bookstore has journals and pens for writing, lamps for reading, pillows for lounging, purses big enough to hold a vacation's worth of books, and even silver measuring tapes - to measure your bookshelves!

From the wacky to the wonderful, the silly to the sublime, the erudite to the elegant, Portrait of a Bookstore has a truly unique gathering of gifts for men, women, children, and even pets!

Our store is different every week - new books, new gifts, new people. We make gorgeous custom gift baskets, and we're more than happy to help you pick out something perfect for that person who has everything.

Victorian tea sets, opera glasses, bread tins, kitchen scales, typewriters...
an ever-changing collection of antiques grace our shelves.
