Wilsons Book World

Wilsons Book World is a family-run used and antiquarian bookshop that stocks hardcovers, paperbacks, comics, manuscripts and ephemera. The shop has been around since 1971 and is now run by the third generation of the family, so it is one of the older bookstores in the Southeast. It is known for a wide range of titles and subjects, from reading-for-pleasure paperbacks to books dating back to the 15th century.

The store is at 535 16th Street North in St. Petersburg, Florida, where it moved into a new home. Staff are known for being knowledgeable and the atmosphere is friendly, which makes it a good place to browse for a long while. Hours are Monday through Saturday, and the store is closed on Sundays.
