About Us

In addition to award-winning fiction, nonfiction, classics, cooking, and inspirational titles, we have a broad selection of books on Amelia Island and its pirate history, as well as the history of Florida, and the Civil War plus many autographed first editions. 

The store appeals to everyone - tourists, locals, historians, and children to name a few. Many celebrity authors have visited the store to share their books including John Grisham, Karen White, Dean Koontz, Dorothea Benton Frank, Steve Berry, Cassandra King,  Jacques Pepin, Jimmy Buffett, Charles Martin, and the late Pat Conroy.

Like the yesteryear of Macy's, our window displays are award-winning and our collection of antiques alone makes for an interesting stroll through the store.

We are grateful to our customers and the community of Fernandina Beach, and are proud to hold the title of "the oldest independent bookstore" on Amelia Island.
