An outstanding independent bookstore. One wall has shelves filled with staff recommendations and browsing through the stacks you can find notes tacked up recommending books by genre. They gift wrap for free so when you need that last minute gift for your mother-in-law on your way to her house, stop in, get a recommendation and have it wrapped! Also a great place for gift certificates as thank yous for your children's teachers so they can select a book of their own.

It carries books, cards and even local Andover apparel. There are two floors of books, and if you can't find what you're looking for, the bookstore can order it for you and get it quickly.

The Andover bookstore is a true gem on the North Shore. I'm a local roofing contractor serving Andover and Boxford (http://northshoreroofer.com/roofing-boxford-ma), and not only has the bookstore been a great customer of ours, but I've been going to the bookstore for decades!
