The best place to go on any given day. Is it raining? Go get a book to pass the time. Is it super hot out? Go get a book in their AC. Bored? Book. The staff is always super friendly, and the books aren't horrendously priced. They're also nestled against TWO great coffee/beverage shops. Could you ask for more?

You can never go wrong with Tombolo. I remember when they didn’t have a storefront and did amazing work uplifting necessary literature at many pride events. This is a bookstore for all. Great recommendations, storefront, pricing, book clubs, fun events, and general deep care.

Tombolo Books is a gem. Tampa Bay is so lucky to have an independent bookstore with a knowledgable, engaging staff who have a gift for recommending the perfect book. Candice and Alsace have embraced St Pete and do an incredible job attracting renowned authors to the area. Thanks for choosing to live and work in our community.
