Visiting Print Bookstore in Portland, Maine

February 12, 2020      Erica Robyn      18 Comments

Print Bookstore Portland Maine - Storefront

Print: A Bookstore is a bookshop that opened after I had moved away from Portland… I was so bummed! This definitely would have been one that I would have visited a lot as it was super close to where I used to live!

Of course, I’m wicked grateful that I was finally able to visit! This is a shop I will likely be stopping in every time I head back to the city.

Let’s dive in!

Visiting Print: A Bookstore in Portland

Print is a shop that I follow on social media so I can keep an eye on all of the amazing events they have! I haven’t been able to make it up for an event just yet, but I hope to soon!

This shop is located a bit outside of the “center” of the Old Port, in a beautiful brick building!

The windows were filled with a great variety of books on little wooden holders.

Immediately after walking in, I was drawn to the right. I wanted that tote bag and the mug so bad! I ended up leaving with the mug… I just couldn’t pass it up! I may have to get the tote during another trip. I just love that design!

The whole shop was so clean and wonderfully organized and designed! The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming.

    I love visiting indie book stores. They are always so much fun and always have cool displays that you just don’t get in the chain stores. Great review!

    Ooh, what a beautiful bookstore! Doesn’t it always happen that as soon as we move, the good things move in!? I love how clean it looks, yet still is overflowing with books, it’s like the perfect balance. I definitely want to stop by if I ever find myself in the area!

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
