Voted Maine's #1 Independent Bookstore
A block up from the waterfront, you'll find Camden's oldest year-round full service-bookstore. At
the Owl & Turtle, we pride ourselves on providing first-name personal attention to all who step into
our store.
Our shelves are lined with more than ten thousand hand-selected titles in sections that include
Maine, history, fiction and cooking, to name a few. We have an entire room dedicated to
children's titles that even features a glass floor overlooking the water below. Our marine room is
equally stocked and includes nautical charts and maps. We are considered to have one of the
finest selections of nautical titles in the nation.
We host or sponsor more than 50 events a year. Authors from all over the nation have visited our
store to inspire, educate and entertain. Within the past few years we have been honored to
conduct events with best selling authors David McCullough, Jane Smiley, Nathaniel Philbrick, Ron
Chernow, Scott Turow, Martin Cruz Smith, Frank Deford, Elizabeth Gilbert, Thomas Friedman,
Anne Rivers Siddons, Richard Russo and many more.
Please stop by and visit us in person. It won't be long before you too will call the Owl & Turtle
your favorite bookstore.

“One of Maine’s best bookstores, now located in an old mill with maple floors and dark wood book cases, with a reading corner by a fireplace. The children’s room has a little wishing well with a glass window on Megunticook River. A marine room holds one of the best selections of marine books on the East Coast. Free parking on Mechanic Street and in a lot up the street. Marine history, travel and art. Great for browsing, and check out their frequent author book signings.” – Maine: An Explorer's Guide
