Paper Garden Books
Paper Garden Used Books is a family owned and managed online used bookstore by Doris and Steve Smith and their son Jacob. It started as an idea in 2014 when Doris was talking with a family member about books. It was mentioned that “new books and e-books are expensive especially for those on a budget. Books that you can hold and feel will never go out of style”. Doris and Steve used that idea with Jacob's love of books to create Paper Garden Used Books, ‘where futures are grown from the books of your past”.
