Let’s Talk Map Sellers – March 26, 2023 at 06:54PM

I love old maps and would like to find some. I know there was a recent post on a similar topic, but most of the suggestions in it were for online sellers. I can do that way if I have to, but what I’d prefer is to find an actual brick-and-mortar store where I can browse in-person and talk to the owners. Google has found a couple spots for me (these two look promising, for example) but I was hoping that the sub might have some recommendations that might not come across my radar otherwise. Used bookstores, antique sellers, that type of thing. Places that may have a map collection but don’t necessarily advertise themselves as map sellers or put their catalogs online.

I’m not a serious collector (i.e., I’m not looking to spend thousands of dollars on authentic originals), so I’m fine with prints and reproductions. I’m just looking for anything interesting, preferably having to do with Maine or at least New England.

I’m willing to drive pretty much anywhere between Bangor and Kittery, but that said: If you know of a really great place that’s a bit further afield…let’s talk.

Thanks in advance.
