Decoy Bookstore is a locally-owned bookstore in North East, MD selling new books, puzzles, games, arts & crafts kits, fresh flower bouquets and more!
We focus on nature-based books to reflect our location at the top of the Chesapeake Bay but carry fiction and non-fiction books for all ages. Our logo was born out of a desire to reflect our hunting heritage in our family and in our gorgeous, waterfront location. With five local rivers, numerous ponds, and the Susquehanna Flats, an important part of the Atlantic Flyway, bird-hunting is of particular importance in our area.
We started Decoy Bookstore in May 2025 as a pop-up store and attended 24 events throughout Cecil County in 2025. We opened our brick-and-mortar location inside West Street Village on Main Street in North East on March 7, 2026–it has been called “the tiniest bookstore in the world”! We have been very well-received by the community and we recently celebrated our first Independent Bookstore Day with discounts, giveaways, and a collaboration with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Cecil County, with whom we have a successful working relationship.
It’s more important than ever to visit and support local bookshops, but sometimes you have to shop online. When you do, please support us by buying from our shop on Bookshop.org. Bookshop.org offers millions of titles delivered directly to your home in 2-3 days. It’s a new, fun, frustration-free way to discover and buy books and ebooks that financially supports local bookshops like us. We’ve also partnered with Libro.fm to make it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through our bookstore. Browse the catalog of over 500,000 audiobooks, including New York Times best sellers—each purchase or membership helps support our store!
When our community supports us, we are better able to give back. In the last year, we have contributed to many worthy causes in the area, from environmental education to mental health awareness, and recently sponsored the St. Mary Anne’s Annual Garden Market for the second time. We love to support our community, fellow small businesses, and causes near and dear to us; the support of customers like you makes that possible!
