Titcomb's Bookshop


Titcomb's Bookshop East Sandwich, Massachusetts, USA started in 1967 when Ralph and Nancy Titcomb bought a house in Connecticut and found many valuable books and documents in their new home and barn. An impromptu business began when they sold their finds and then launched a mail-order business and had their eight children collating and compiling a catalog. Having stumbled upon the profession of book selling, the Titcombs have stuck with it for more than 35 years. Titcomb's Book Shop still trades in antiquarian books, but it is now also a general new book bookstore.
