Our first store, in 1990, was in the shopping center where the movie theater is now. We bought selected books from a bookseller in DeLand and we had already developed a good business core in the selling and trading side of the business.

This is an area that the chain stores don't bother with. We provide a personal service to the individual looking for a particular book. It may take us a while and a lot of research but we usually deliver.
We started off in the Oak Hill Flea Market, about 1988, selling just about everything, but after a short period of time we found that books sold best. After a while we just got too big for the flea market and since my wife and I always loved books and reading, the natural progression was for us to open a bookstore.
After a few years we found that these items didn't work. It took a lot of time to deal with them, plus they took up a lot of space. So we put the other stuff aside and migrated back to the book business, something we really felt very comfortable with.
