I can't speak highly enough of this place. If you enjoy history this is an absolute must. Truly a place where you can spend an entire day just browsing in awe. Can't wait to go back!

A wonderful place run by wonderful people! I brought my dad as part of a road trip through Florida. We went in looking for Carl Hiaasen and found so much more! Plenty of first editions, signed, antique, and more modern works. Will be back whenever we are in the area ?

Lovely old library mood for antiquarian browsing for book lovers. We felt like we stepped into a charming, LARGE bookshop in Oxford, England. The owners are extraordinarily gentle, kind, and helpful. The shelves are very well-organized so that you may stop in for a minute and search for just a specific writing, but there are also SHELVES UPON SHELVES of treasures that makes this a day or half-day destination for those who love books. Utterly delightful, peaceful, and rich. ANGLOPHILE AND BIBLIOPHILE'S DELIGHT. And worth quite a drive if you are at a distance. Treasures to be found in every price range, too, which is pleasing. We delayed going due to their heavy focus on history and old maps, but are so glad we went as they have MANY old fiction books, also, a great selection of naturalists, and an extensive vintage children's collection. Plus a lot of engaging oddities that defy category. : -)

This rare books dealer is located in downtown historic Dade City just behind the 7th Street main drag. Shady, free, off street parking spaces face the entrance. The owner has a small business filled with rare and historical books of all genres. He is the real deal when it comes to knowing rare books. I visited him with my friend who had a set of rare books from the 1800s that she wanted to know the value of. He was very frank (in a kind way) about this particular set's value and what he would try to sell it for versus what he would actually pay to bring it into his inventory. Books that require repair, of course, aren't going to be purchased for very much because of the costs associated with repair and adding in his mark up. He was very fair with his assessment and generally doesn't charge to take a look at people's rare books for them. I browsed thru some of his books on the shelves while he and my friend were looking at her books, and it was amazing to see what people were writing about 100 and 200 years ago. If rare books interest you or you have a rare book that you would like to sell, give him a visit. You won't be sorry.

One of the best secret finds in the Tampa Bay area. I love that they appreciate and sell so many old books. Tons on history, a good amount on Florida which was cool to see. I even found other countries history books. Also a lot of older literature books. Books that date back to the 1800s but they may have some even older. I cannot emphasize enough on how fairly priced everything was. They also have old maps and a children's section of course. This place is like looking through a treasure trove of books. This is now in my top 5 places in Florida. Take a little day trip out to this small quiet town, stop in to get a book and then find a little cafe to sit and read.
