USA, Massachusetts, Nantucket Bookworks
Patty Claflin opened Nantucket Bookworks in 1972. The original location of the store was the basement of the Mooney Building (which now houses Town offices) on the corner of Federal and Broad Street. Specialties of the time were paperbacks and chess, and one can easily imagine the colorful characters that would hang out among the pine shelves.
Current owner Wendy Hudson had loved the store since about age 12, when she discovered it during a summer trip when her family sailed to the island from the Cape aboard her grandparents' boat. She recalls wandering into the back room and having her heart skip a beat or two, for there were so many cool toys and it all felt so secret.
Today, Nantucket Bookworks is a full-service, general interest bookstore selling new books, with a small selection of out-of-print Nantucket titles. They have an extensive children's room, card room, Young Adult section, and Nantucket Book section.
