How our business started

Petaluma Paperbacks started as Paperbacks Unlimited Inc.'s second store in 1978. I became a regular customer when we moved to Petaluma in 1980. I was a life-long book addict, and this was a store that worked for me=I would bring in my bag of books, get another bag of books which I hadn't read yet (hopefully…) and not pay that much for them. That worked very well until 2003, when I heard the owner talking about what sounded like the sale of my favorite bookstore. After some discussion with him, I decided to get my book buying to the next stage=just buy them ALL! We have continued the same policies that served me so well as a customer for all those years, keeping me in books without me having to choose between paying PG&E and getting my next book fix (!). We have been and remain a family owned and operated business specializing in helping every reader find the books they need at affordable prices.
