Welcome to Water Street Bookstore, the largest independent bookstore on
the seacoast of New Hampshire. We feature a comprehensive selection of
both local and national authors. Our friendly and knowledgable staff
will be happy to assist you in finding just the right book for you.
Embarking on an incredible journey, the Salwen family downsizes their house and gives half of their profits to charity. Along the way they would inspire so many others wrestling with the same questions: Do I give enough? How much is enough? Signed February, 2010.
For every $100 you spend at a local indie business, $68 will stay in the community. When you spend that same $100 at a national chain, only $43 stays in your community.
Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own market: the people in their community. They know you and know what you like and want.
You wouldn’t want your house to look like everyone else’s in the U.S. Why would you want your community to look that way? More diversity in your community enhances its appeal.
