A little Gem!!!
Just a little place, home-spun, with plenty of books you'll want to tote with you to the beach or pool if you're a fan of Florida and local history. The owner Val is a wonderful fellow, SO knowledgeable and pleasant- amazing things he knows about the area!! Books range from history, maps, cooking, novels, drama, short stories, treasure hunting, pirates... new books, old books, a little bit of a little bit of everything. Hours are sporadic- be sure to knock on the door, usually there most weekday mornings. It's a stop for us every time we're in town, just to see what's new & catch up on the changes in Florida and visit with charming Val!!
