Genuinely the best book store ive found in years. Prices are very reasonable the workers are nice an helpful but also let you browse at your comfort. The selection itself of books is the best part. Almost 100% guarantee youll find somthing you like in there in your price range every time. Ive expanded on several of my collections thanks to this place

It’s a fascinating place. Fun to navigate and the owner is very willing to help. The only challenge, and it’s no small thing, is that the vast majority of titles require you to climb up on a ladder to reach it wait until they can fetch them for you, because it’s a vertical book shop.

FLORIDA BOOK LOVERS, a little bit of heaven lays beside a storefront church in south Broward County: a seriously curated and welcoming second-hand book shop with glass-door cabinets and open shelves that climb to the skies. Old Florida is not about mass-market paperbacks, but does keep a few shelves of James Patterson hardcovers on a bargain rack. Many titles come from all over the world, and I was tempted during my first five minutes inside by French novels, a biography of Henry Adams, and an Oxford University press book on giants of mid-20th century writing who were heavily Irish born. Judging by the clerk working at a photo station, Old Florida does a serious Internet business. But the distinctive pleasures here are tactile and wonderfully analog.

Definitely an unexpected experience based on the outside of the building, I spent nealy an hour looking at three small shelves! Rules are posted, and books prices are written on the first white page in each book.

It depends on the book. We sell primarily old books but have had signings for new books as well. You'd need to stop by & see if the space is adequate. We sometime have them outside in the front but I wouldn't advise that in the summer.
