Splendid Sun Books And Gifts

Awesome book store! I love their selection and the owner often recommends books I may not normally read. The perfect spot to relax in some air conditioning and find a new beach read!

This is a fine small bookstore. Christi gave me great service. She seems very plugged into the local community. (I was from out of town.) She and her son had read the book that I bought there. I get the vibe that they've read a lot of the books that they sell here. Lots of fiction, especially young adult fiction. Excellent children's section. Prices are not low, but fair. There was seating for readers. A seaside recreation town needs a good bookstore and Rockport has one here.

Rockport's independent bookstore! This place is so fantastic! What a beautiful spot! Splendid Sun has such a comfortable place for avid readers or occasional readers alike to come in, hang out in their comfortable store, have a cup of coffee, discuss literature, and surf the web! Christi and her staff have a wonderfully stocked store, with lots of local authors, NYT best sellers, romance, stuff for kids, even comics! They've got a little bit of everything in here. I could spend all day going through the shelves of books. One of my favorites is the "Blind Date With a Book" where they give you the general theme of the book, and you get to learn about a new author! I'm so happy to see that Rockport has such a bookworm crowd who loves getting together and talking about the books, not just reading them! There's a reason people around here shop at Splendid Sun instead of going online to order their stuff, it's the service and whole experience around purchasing that book! Splendid Sun has been around for a while, doing the SeaFair and Market Days celebrations, and now I'm so excited to see that they have a regular location in a splendid shopping center along the main street in town. This is my favorite bookstore! I highly recommend checking this place out!

Great place to pick up some beach reads! They have a lot of current/ popular books and also some more off-the-beaten-path reads. They even have a few puzzles and games. Was really pleased to grab a few books from their discount section.

Such a fun place to relax buy books and gifts. If you just want to hang out and read there is coffee, internet and plenty of comfortable places to sit and enjoy.

A owner who genuinely loves literature is more then willing to geek out when all costumers are taken care of its a small store but great variety and more then wiling to order spastic requests books are always in great condition
