An affordable, curated experience
Scroll down for Frequently Asked Questions | Employment
Spellbound Bookstore opened on November 5, 2022. We're a small independent bookstore offering new and used books of all genres, gifts, paper goods, puzzles, and more! The store is owned by Sarai Rivera, a resident of Sanford who always dreamed of one day opening a small bookstore. With a lot of hard work and a great team we were able to make Spellbound what it is today.
What sets us apart is a curated selection of books and gifts at affordable prices with the added experience of a cozy, friendly bookstore where all are welcome. Our curated book selection includes new, new surplus, and used books. New Surplus and Used Books are discounted and feature a price sticker. All of our book inventory is shelved together.
