After finding success in their front yard, the couple built mobile bookshelves and started popping up at various spots around town. That eventually led to leasing their current 3,600-square-foot warehouse at 10410 66th North in Pinellas Park, which allows the duo to sell books seven days a week.
At the current space, shelves stretch a mile long and thousands of cardboard boxes filled with over 100,000 books, including some over 100 years old, line the aisles.
