Avenue Victor Hugo Books - Book store in Lee - 1 Lee Hill Rd, USA

Delighted to find that this old Boston staple has reinvented itself in an adorable barn not far from Portsmouth NH. Great selection of books, awesome for browsing through. Stop in, you won't regret it.

Avenue Victor Hugo was one of my favorite college haunts in its old location in Newbury Street in the 90s, and it is wonderful to be able to spend time browsing the shelves again. Blue the cat is no longer around, but the location in a charming red barn adds to the ambiance and the characteristic decor in hand-drawn signs. 20,000 books to make a rainy day interesting. What more can one ask? Inventory tracked on their website if you are feeling lazy.

Although I have not been to the physical location, I did order a book from their website and had it shipped to me (I live across the country from their location). It was a book (first edition, btw), signed by the author, who also happens to be my great-great-great uncle. So thrilled I was able to find this bookstore online, and so lucky the book was a ridiculously reasonable price as well. Having this book means so much to me--and provides me with a tangible connection to a family member I would never be able to meet. I received timely email updates about my payment being received, processed, and book shipped, and had no issues whatsoever (and this all happened around Christmas time.) All their book prices seem very fair and fitting to the conditions/editions of the books. Many of the books have very detailed descriptions regarding conditional flaws or defects, or explanations about the publisher or specific printing, etc. Very, very happy customer.

I am seasonal at a nearby campground and my 9 year old son and I stopped at this book store. We had a great time exploring. I found 2 books that I am so excited to read and my son found one as well. I am also an early childhood educator and I found a couple of books that are perfect for my classes too! Will definitely be visiting again.

It is always such a treat to visit this wonderful bookstore! We never leave empty handed. We are so thankful for a unique place to find our next stack of books to dive in to!

The perfect bookstore. ...Quirky and full of literary nostalgia, an eclectic and well stocked selection, with mementos and artifacts from bygone eras scattered throughout, It has it all.

Sadly to see that the store is closing it's always been a good one Great deals anytime I went in there.

Owner was very cordial and helpful during my recent visit. While the shop didn't have the particular book I was looking for, he pointed me in the right direction and I was able to find it based on his recommendation. Will definitely be back for future book needs!
