Tombolo Books
n. 'tom-buh-lō 1. a sandbar connecting an island to the mainland 2. a new bookshop for St. Pete!
Like a tombolo is the sea, this bookshop's purpose is to be a bridge to new worlds through discovery of new books, authors, readers and friends. Great books are within reach in this tiny, fascinating store. Old-fashioned but usable typewriters are mixed throughout to type a note or poem for the next guest.

Cutest book store ever! We left with several new books to add to our collection. Books, stickers, and tons of other items to choose from. The staff were so friendly and pleasant to interact with. Such a cozy vibe and I loved the layout. It looks like they put on a ton of events as well. Definitely stop by and support this business! This is on our list to visit anytime we’re in the area.
This space goes beyond welcoming to all, it also celebrates everyone’s diverse voices as a community. Many stores have different book clubs but this place also has a tweens/teens book club. They have a fantastic selection of books and merch. There is a great kids section too. Everyone was nice; even the customers were friendly at chatting. Grab a coffee from Black Crow next door as they share the outdoor back patio.
Wasn't able to get the Warrior cats enter the adventure limited release for independent bookstore day at my local location in Jacksonville FL and this store had 1 left and shipped it! Saved me and I get to add to my collection. The book arrived within a few days and packaged well. Thank you! (Its the top book on my shelf on the stand)
The cutest and most friendly book shop in St. Pete!! It is a very supporting and loving atmosphere with a lot of amazing books!!
Anyone reading the TOG series and plans on doing a tandem read of EOS and TOD needs to come here! Not only do they have the entire series but they have a sticky set that you can buy that matches the colors of the books. The stickies also come in the cutest holder! I do suggest getting more than one pack unless you want to move the first few tabs as you read. The staff here is also so sweet, funny, and helpful. I have never found such a cute and cozy bookstore.
