The Book Rescuers! Any readers in the @LovingStPete family? Who knows this incredible and affordable spot with 40K+ books? If you don’t, and you know a reader, do them a favor and share this with them! They’ll most certainly thank you, as will the kind owners, George and Sarah Brooks.

Books Range from $1-$8 – Cheap!

Most books are only $1-$3, with the highest priced books being the $8 Antiquarian (100+ yr old). All are organized well and ready for purchase!

George and Sarah are the locals who came up with the idea to “rescue” the books. They come from estate sales, donations, schools, and places that shred books. Many of these books would have otherwise been goners. 😬 I’m putting together a video of an interview I did with George on this topic, more to come.

Book Rescuers Sells More Than Books

As a bonus, the Book Rescuers rescue even more than books. For instance, they sold an original 1977 Star Wars soundtrack (with everything inside of it) for a dollar! You’ll find kid’s books, educational books, DVD’s, vinyl, Blu-Ray, paperback, hardcover, oversized and vintage, plus Antiquarians!

Supporting the Pinellas and St Pete Community

George and Sarah are also big supporters of our community, including teachers. For instance, at the beginning of each month you can tag a teacher to enter them into a $100 book giveaway. When the winning teacher is selected, they’ll receive a $100 shopping spree at the store!

My wife has been a regular for 2+- years, ever since they opened. Colt and I finally had a chance to tag along this weekend and I’m so glad we did. Colt spent lots of time in the kids section, he was definitely into it.

I’d love if you followed and supported Book Rescuers!

Written by : St Petersburg Realtor, Mike Braswell

Mike Braswell is a Tampa Bay Realtor, serving St Petersburg, Clearwater, all nearby beaches and more. Mike and his 6 year old son started LovingStPete in October of 2020 after a difficult year took its toll on local businesses. After being cooped up for portions of 2020 (lockdown) they decided to get out and explore, helping spread the good word about the local area he loves so much. Often even doing gift card giveaways to support local. LovingStPete is now followed by over 27 thousand people on social media! The majority of posts are informative on fun parks, activities, day trips, great restaurants, and in general provide a comprehensive tour of the area! His 6 year old son generally helps him gather the info, providing his wife some 'child-free' time in the process! A win-win, with his son being exposed to many great events and activities in the process.

Soon after receiving his bachelors in Management Information Systems, Mike developed and then operated a vacation rental advertising business for 10+ years as CEO/Owner. The business was eventually acquired by HomeAway/VRBO.

When not spending time with his beautiful wife and energetic son, Mike enjoys boating and is also an avid tennis player. An interesting fact about Mike is that he grew up on an avocado farm with over 15 varieties, some of which you can find in our local Publix/Winn Dixie as his dad still farms the same farm at 87 years old!
