The brick and mortar version of the Old Book Shop was a fixture
of the Palm Beach Season for decades and played host to collectors,
and collections of the rich, famous and scandalous. The ecclectic
essence of that collection is now available online for viewing by
jet-setters to jet pilots and troops in the trenches.
Our aim, as always, is to get the right book into the hands of the
right reader at the right price - and stay in business!
