Gulf of Maine Books has been a literary fixture on Brunswick's Maine Street since 1979, owned by poets Beth Leonard and Gary Lawless — a fact that shapes everything from the curated selection to the frequent poetry readings, book signings, and author events. The shop carries strong literary fiction, regional titles, and used books, all chosen with a poet's ear for what's worth reading twice. A Midcoast institution that quietly punches above its weight.
