  • Stacks of books to rummage through on many subjects, from astronomy to theater, but fiction section is disappointingly small. Pricing a bit high.

  • I never come to Provincetown without stopping by Tim’s Used Books. There’s a great selection, and a lot more here than you’d expect. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and prices fair. Caution: you can easily spend hours browsing here. =) #ShopLocal
  • It's really charming. Plan to hit it every time i am in Ptown. Loved how it felt walking up and in. Wonderful atmosphere
  • Exactly what you would expect a Provincetown used book store to be. Narrow passageways abounding with tall bookshelves and plenty of titles to choose from. Masks are required in August 2021 and only 6 people can browse at one time. The books seem to be in great shape.
  • One of the best used books store I’ve ever been too! Lost myself in there. My parter and I ended up getting so many unique and cool finds. Their selection is so big and nicely organized. Tim is lovely. Will come back for sure for sure !!
  • A hidden gem. Tim's used books shop is a lovely second-hand book store tucked between two buildings in Provincetown's busiest street. Walk the narrow path to discover a cozy little house pack full with books covering a surprisingly large ground from classic fiction, mystery, and beach reads, to philosophy, business, art and essays. Outside, you can try to find your next read among a few $1 books. Prices are very competitive with online options. I found a rare book on advertising I had been looking for for a long time. Highly recommend!
