The Spirit of '76 Bookstore and Card Shop is a 45-year fixture in the community of Marblehead. The selection of cards and books spans three large rooms, but what makes this bookstore infamous in the area are the specialty sections: 'Local author,' 'Local Marblehead,' 'Nautical' and 'Staff Picks' are just a few to name that make this a more personal place to shop for books.
