New signage!!!

Same beautiful art and previously loved, vintage, and antiquarian books that you have grown to know and love.

We are still working on a few more surprises for this space but WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!!

Show your support for your local businesses this summer. We are here because of your unending support. 🌺

Phone number for The Island Bookshop & Gallery, too (or the “book gallery” if that’s too much) is 941-367-9640. And again, that address is 114 Nokomis Avenue S. It’s in the same building as our original bookshop.

We look forward to seeing you at both of our bookshops downtown! 🌺

Famous last words, “No more construction.”
Well we did it again.
We made some necessary changes in our former sister business .gallery.framery and will now be solely in the business of books and art.
This is the new home for our previously loved, vintage, antiquarian, and rare books.
Sales from our majority donated books from our amazing community goes back out into this wonderful place we call home. We literally would not be here without you. 🤍
It is also the new home of the beautiful art of many of the local artists you know and love. Thank you for making the move with us. 🩷
There’s still some work to do but we will be open tomorrow: Wednesday, June 3rd.
We look forward to seeing you at both of our locations just 2 doors away from each other in the Merchants of Venice shopping plaza. 🌺
