We are Key West’s locally-owned, independent bookstore
48
— a community center for readers and writers,
a place where you can browse the latest books, attend
readings by well-known writers, meet local authors,
and just inhale the intoxicating aroma of paper and
bindings. We’re a non-profit, part of The Studios of Key
West, but we aren’t asking you for donations. We’re just
asking you to come and treat yourself to a book. That’s
all it will take to keep us alive and thriving.
AUTHOR EVENTS
We bring authors together with readers at in-store
events. We have hosted notable writers ranging from
Kwame Alexander, Carl Hiaasen and Richard Russo, to
landscape architect Raymond Jungles.

CAN'T GET TO THE STORE?
Not in Key West, but want to support your local
bookstore? We've got you covered with...
- an online store, where you can order your books and
have them shipped directly to you.
- an ebook store, where you can order books to read on
your phone or tablet.
and
- an audio bookstore, where you can order books to
download and listen at your leisure.
Just click the "Can't Get To The Store" tab at
booksandbookskw.com for full info.
All the books, whether printed, digitized or audio, are
prepared by the publishers, so you know you're getting
the official editions. They're the same books you would
get from other online sources, but your purchase
supports The Studios of Key West!
DO YOU HAVE?
Our inventory — a choice of titles from
ABC Animals to Zoom — has been carefully
curated for the broad range of
interests in our unique town. Nothing
makes us so proud as to respond to the
query “Do you have...,” more often
than not with an enthusiastic “Yes!”
We know that every month or two
someone will want a classic like Moby
Dick, and we’ll have it. But our tables
are piled high with new books, too. If
the book is in stock at the store (watch
for the “On our shelves now” tag)
we’ll fill the order from stock. Otherwise
we’ll get it shipped from our
warehouse.
