Welcome to I Cannot Live Without Books, located in West Dennis, Massachusetts, on beautiful Cape Cod.

Come, browse. Conversation is optional --- opinions are dispensed without bias.

Although we have rooms full of fiction, our interests lie in the non-fiction histories, military history, and biographies that even the local libraries do not carry.  We run the gamut from English royalty to J. Edgar Hoover to George W. Bush.  Our Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI and WWII are quite interesting and educational.

Be sure to check out our Early Reader, Middle Reader, and Young Adult offerings, as well as our Science Fiction/Fantasy listings.

NEW: The Mystery Bookshop!! We now have one room filled with Mysteries, Thrillers, and Suspense! These genres are currently being added to this web-site, but in the meantime, please visit themysterybookshop.com for a more complete selection of these genres.

Another new feature is a listing of authors (in alphabetical order) and their books (in order of publication). Obviously this is a giant undertaking, and will be a constant "work in progress." The titles we have in stock will have a link to that item, and as we add titles, we will add links.
