The Old Florida Book Shop is truly an example of don’t judge a book by its cover (sorry - had to say it - lol). The outside is a typical strip mall location with parking right in front. As you approach the entrance, you find tons of books for sale to be paid - on the honor system - for two dollars to be left in a marked box. When you enter, it is very cozy and dreamy inside. There are floor to ceiling books set in beautiful wooden bookshelves. It looks to be all preowned books from all different time frames and subject matters. Lots of reading options to choose from.

Absolutely gobsmacked by this place. We’ve been visiting SFL for years and never knew this existed. It was a bit overwhelming as it’s in a bit of disarray and so packed inside and out with books. Books books books and more books. It’s amazing. For a reader… well, I actually got teary. No lie. I wanted to browse and browse but alas…. time and husbands wait for no one. lol

An incredibly cozy environment. Not only do they have books, but also old postcards and coins and so many hidden treasures! I feel like I could have spent a whole day in there! The cat was also an incredible bonus, such a friendly little guy!

I adore this bookstore. The comforting scent of old books fills the air, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Its shelves offer a delightful selection, ranging from cherished vintage editions to contemporary works. Though it can grow quite busy at times, its charm never fade! A must visit if you’re in the area or town

A small but beautiful little book store with a rich history and glass to it. Walking in you are transported back to another era of traditional solid wood book cases pack floor to ceiling with books. Not a place to get loud or touchy but a place to admire and find works of art, historical and classic books. We met William and he was so soft and beautifully spoken. You can tell this a passion of his and a shop he truly loves and should be shared with people who have the same values.
