Contact Salt Marsh Books

Ask a bookseller anything at all.

Looking for a title you cannot remember, a gift for someone impossible or a place to hold a book launch? Write to us, ring the front desk or just climb the stairs. Someone on staff has almost certainly read something to suit.

Questions, holds and events

Write to the front desk

We read every message ourselves and reply within one working day, usually with a suggestion or two.

Getting here

Is the shop accessible?

The ground floor, café and children's room have step-free entry from the side alley. The upstairs reading loft is reached by stairs only, so we bring events downstairs on request.

Where do I park?

The Market Square lot is a three-minute walk and free after five on weekdays, or ride the commuter rail and walk across the green.

Can I host a launch here?

Yes. The loft seats forty-five and we handle chairs, tea and sales. Write to us three months ahead and include a short blurb about the book.

Do you give discounts to schools and libraries?

Teachers and librarians take twenty percent off class sets and classroom libraries, and we will gather titles on a list and have the boxes ready for pickup.

The stairs are worth it.

Come up on a rainy afternoon, take the window seat if it is free, and tell the nearest bookseller what you read last. We will take it from there.
