"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them."

- Mark Twain

Welcome to The Book Shop!

At The Book Shop we strive to provide our customers with the finest used and antiquarian books available on a range of subjects.  You're not likely to find the hot new titles on our shelves, but you will discover some classic gems.  Happy reading.

Meet the Staff!

Brad has literally grown up in the antiquarian book business at The Book Shop, where he began working at age 15.  We consider him our in-house literary genius.  His in-depth knowledge of The Book Shop's inventory of more than 30,000 unique titles never ceases to amaze us.  Jennifer has always enjoyed reading and hopes one day to know even half of what Brad knows.
 
The Book Shop is fortunate to have the support of the greatest employee ever Adam Warner, whose favorite part of his job is shelving books. When Brad & Jen are playing hooky, you may find book shop stalwart Lee Hunnicutt behind the counter or the always helpful Lynn Johnson, whose breaking hearts when she's not busy straightening.

The Book Shop History

The Book Shop has a long history in the heart of old downtown Covina.  Prior to the change of ownership in October 2006, this unique antiquarian book store was owned for 26 years by Roger Gozdecki, who taught Brad everything he knows.  The Book Shop will remain true to Gozdecki's standards and hopes to take on a greater role as the literary center of Covina's downtown.

Gozdecki is now the owner of Anthology Rare Books. For more information and to reach him, call 310.472.6036.
