Best kept secret in town. I ordered a book that costs$65.00 at the big book store, got it here for$25.00! Friendly staff and great selection

Super cool bookstore. The lady working was super helpful, & everyone in our group found some books. Would definitely come back!

One of the best independent bookstores in the state for sure. Like a kid in a candy store here. Childrens section has *very* high-quality books too, which is getting difficult to find these days.

First time there.Do not let the bland exterior fool you. It is large, well stocked, well organized, and welcoming inside. Pretty, too. Not just books: games, puzzles, pictures, too. Friendly staff! Friendly customers. We are so pleased to have this (real) book store convenient to us.

Too many books all wonderful! A good place to get lost and dream.

Very nice ladies. Shop looks amazing. Great variety of books new and old. The Items that my wife and I wanted had to be ordered. Hope to get them soon. I thought books were already ordered after wanting to pay for them. Owner called me and I guess I was suppose to call her back. I guess shes the only one that orders books. That was not explained to me. Ordered books elsewhere because we waited three weeks and wife wanted them sooner. Will try to order from this location next time. Did not want to give credit card over phone.

This is like Candlekeep Castle (from Baldurs Gate): a treasure trove of knowledge that SURELY boils your blood in jealousy! Why have I waited this long to read whats been written on the wall long ago? Am I just lazy or are books becoming a lost art? Have I been cheated/kept in the dark? No worries; for youll find yourself here @Sandman Books!Here, you can rediscover a lost art, and lose yourself to new ideas...It doesnt matter how much money you bring; theres always something new to be found here...for everyone! The staff and selection make your time worth it; as no other book store carries older or used treasures! Even their merchandise still holds the archaic tags/markings of foregone and forgotten bookshops that didnt endure the test of time: this is the best in the AREA! Relics from our past wait for you here!Their prices and selections entice you to spend more time and money than you allocated...this is a dangerous pleasure as youll find it hard to LEAVE! DONT start this journey as it will leave you wanting more!I dont regret it :) thanks!

An amazing hidden treasure. The inside was so inviting. First thing my granddaughter said when we were walking out was can we come back here Gramma?

Great book store with tons of personality and friendly staff that lets you take your time and dosent make you feel watched.

Love it. Really organize, great variation, and good and friendly staff. Only bad thing is that I live too far away from it. 🙁

Such a lovely, out of the way place. The resident kitty is so handsome and sweet, and the book selection is top notch. Wonderful environment, loads of rare and hard to find books, as well as the newest, most relevant reads for now. Spent the entire afternoon sifting through the shelves. Will be back!

This was the first time Ive ever been to this place. Brought my granddaughter for the Sandman book reading and truly enjoyed it as well as she. She loved the characters which were among her favorites. Great job. Will definitely be back again.

Books go woo wooo woo around and back and they are on shelves and cat goes meow meow purr sleep and I go wow cool and then I buy a book from sandman books which is what this store is called!!!

Exceptional service from clerk and huge volume of books

Very nice bookstore with a small gallery inside. They have new and used and everything is organized by genre. Nice shelving and nooks to get lost in. The arch is made out of recycled books and resembles a rainbow. There is a kitty that lives there and sits on a little black chair. I attended their grand opening and have been back many times.

Very nice bookstore. My kids loved it.

Incredible selection and the owners are super knowledgeable and helpful. I always find what Im looking for and more! If they dont have something, they can order it for you. I definitely suggest you visit if you havent.

Love this bookstore! The owner is very knowledgeable about the books they carry. Love the selection of books and of course Kitty-Wan Kenobi is always wonderful to see! We will always make a special trip to come to this bookstore!

Had a few very specific books i was looking for. Very pleased. Will return.Highly recommend.

Tons of books, very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

A one of a kind bookstore. Never before have I seen a bookstore that infused new releases with old antique classics. Run by a wonderful bunch of people, and definitely worth a trip there. Prices are good, a little up there when coming across certain copies of older books, but its what you would expect with how rare some copies can be. Not to mention their cat was adorable.

I absolutely love this bookstore, I have popped in many times over the past few years and will continue to go back. Their book recommendations are on point and they are phenomenal about getting things in when needed. The prices are fair and the book exchange program is awesome!

Visited this place during Covid. SO glad that they moved in right down the street. Staff was super friendly. Place was clean. Had a nice selection even for kids but I would like to see a bigger kid selection over time if possible.

This place is so nice. So many books. Heidi was very helpful.

I always have a great time at the bookstore they have a super large selection it is a clean place and a helpful and friendly staff. My only complaint is just the mask regulation. I have a medical exemption from the mask yet the store wants to fail about complying. Although I will return to shop here, I dont think I will until the regulations are lifted. I hope they continue to do a great business there, and hopefully I can come back one day.

This place is awesome. We saw it on Facebook and just knew we had to visit. We drove from about an hour north of Tampa and we believe the drive was completely worth it. We will also return multiple times in the future. There are rare books here that I have not been able to find elsewhere and the prices for them are honestly quite reasonable. When you visit, feel free to pet their sweet cat (as long as it allows you to) and donate a buck or more to its food fund. 😁 The centerpiece of this place is the wall of upcycled books that theyve put together as a testament to the horror towards the idea of tossing books in the dumpster. Each person working here that I met were also super helpful and patient.

Staff very helpful. Found the books I was looking for. Cannot wait to go back.

A wonderful place to spend an afternoon browsing through books. The staff is friendly and helpful in suggestions. They have comfy chairs around the shop in which to rest. And of course the cat (Kitty-Wan Kenobi) is adorable!

The displays are gorgeous and they have a really good selection of books. They also have a lot of old, rare books which was cool to see.

What a wonderful Shoppe. Unique atmosphere and large selection. Worthy of a visit.

My husband and I LOVE this place! Whenever we visit from up north we have to stop in at least once. We went to their new building for the first time and its absolutely beautiful! So cool. And theyre so helpful, going out of their way to help you find what you need. Their shop cat is adorable, too. Well always keep coming back for more!

Amazing selection of books and well organized. I could spend hours here...

Best bookstore in Southwest Florida, without question.

Love this store! Whenever I go there I find a treasure. My sons love it too. When a 12 year old wants to go to a bookstore it has got to be good!

Fantastic selection of books, well organized balanced with whimsy throughout! So wonderful to visit a wonderful indie bookstore - a real surprise in Florida!

Wide selection of new and used books. One thing I didnt see was a coffee area. Beautifully layed out. Very clean and staff were nice. Although we didnt find what we were looking for we would go back again. They are happy to order anything you may need.

It was a very cool place with lots of books. My one recommendation is to better mark what books are in store on the website.

Awesome and diverse book store. Lots of genres, including horror!

We live in Cape Coral and always chose to go out of our way to Sandman Book Co.! Even though theyve moved further out, we still take trips and plan to continue going. Everyone is so helpful and kind, it really is a great atmosphere. They usually have what I want (and then some) but are always willing to order anything they do not have at the time. The new building is a great space; however, we havent been back to see it fully finished just yet! Cant wait to go back and bring some books for trade-in as I love the chance to receive credits towards other books.

Sandman Books is a terrific bookstore. The staff is SUPER helpful and the selection of books is incredible. If they dont have it, they can find it and order it for you. One of the GREAT independent book stores!!!!

Sandman Books is the our favorite area book shop. Excellent selection, large selection of Florida writers offerings, used and vintage books, fine art, handmade jewelry and book markers and the interior is beautifully done. They even have a super cool archway made entirely of books!

Lovely new location including outdoor tent for book evaluation. Same great owners and staff!

Amazing selection, great prices, lovely atmosphere! I could get lost in this shop for hours. Friendly staff and great staff picks!

This is a really cool bookstore and its massive. Plan to spend a little while in here as theres so much to see.

Great selection and pricing. Knowledgable and helpful staff, always happy to help locate or custom order something. The book arch is amazing!

So happy with the selection and service. I tend to read unusual/ non-mainstream titles, and I was glad to see a great selection and variety. My books were shipped to me, well packaged & timely. My only issue was with PayPal messing up my order. But Heidi took care of that for me and fixed things. PayPal was not helpful.

Love the new location. So many choices! BUT If you cant find what youre looking for the owner will order it for you at a reasonable price.

Expected to walk into a musty used book store. NOT the case whatsoever. Nicely laid out store with a fresh smell. And helpful staff, too.

Great store! Love the cat. Kitty wan Kenobi is definitely the boss! Great prices. Definitely recommend

Wow! What an awesome find. Everyone goes to Florida for sun and fun but one should stop and smell the books in this store! Go to the beach AFTER you pick up a couple books. The store is huge and very well organized - the lady running the store was very helpful and super nice! She could not have been more inviting to her lovely store. Prices are more than reasonable! My only wish was that I could have spent more time in the store. I will be back!

They have an excellent selection of used books and local history books. They gave started carrying rare books also. Very helpful staff.

One of my favorite places to go. It has a great feel to it. So many great books and I always walk out with more. Its a 45 min drive for me but ill go there when ever I can.

Great Huge used bookstore!!! Owner and local bookstore kitty are very sweet and knowledgeable. Find lots and lots to look at, at this store expect to find something that catches your fancy. My only gripe is that if you trade in a book for store credit the books you can use them on are very limited, at least in my experience. But overall an amazing store I definitely recommend it !

Visiting Sandman Book Company is an essential activity for a Florida trip. The bookstore is a wonderful place to browse through pages. It is large and well organized. There are many welcoming and personal touches, like book recommendations in different genre sections, and the fun banned books section. I could spend hours there!

A beautiful independent book store. The new space is much easier to get to--right off the highway.

Very big bookstore with new and used books. Friendly and dedicated staff. Free childrens story time for the 5 and up crowd. Definitely worth stopping in.

Love it. Knowledgeable ladies. Weird little redhead. Anyway, walls and walls of books. Good prices. Nice atmosphere. The only cultural spot out here in the middle of nowhere.

This place is amazing. You feel very welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys books.

Very nice store. I actually found the last book I needed to complete my Bobbsey Twins collection. I will be back.

New and old. Many titles. Even rare collectables. Great place to browse a raining day away.

Beautiful place, friendly staff. Easy to find a book, just a cool place to wander

Sandman is the single greatest bookstore Ive ever been to. The staff are wonderful and can help you find whatever you need. The atmosphere is fantastic and the store has thousands of books. Their cat is always present (usually sleeping) and always brightens my day!

Great bookstore and great staff. This bookstore have more books then you can ever want and in any section you can think of. The staff is wonderful, constantly making sure the store is organized and is willing to help find any type of book that anyone could want. Highly recommend this bookstore if your in the area.

Well done! Love how well its all spaced out! Beautiful facility!

Great place. Knowledgeable employees. Great cat! Had the books I wanted!!!

Lots of books to look at

Great selection and service! This place is amazing. If your idea of a bookstore is Barnes and Noble you are missing out! Sandman puts them all to sleep ;-)

Enjoyed a nice photography talk by David Sussman about Photoshop & other Adobe apps.

Sandman Book Company is the most awesome local bookstore in the Punta Gorda, Fort Myers and Cape Coral area! The owners are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I literally (reading pun, ha!) could spend hours in this store. Great diverse selection of titles covering all genres and if they dont have what you want they will order it. A must visit for any avid reader!

One of the best used bookstores Ive ever been to, and thats sayin something for a traveler like me! They recently renovated and doubled in size, now not limited to the back of the building, but spanning to the front, including a front door. They have a huge stock of books in a wide variety of genres, some comfy chairs for chilling out in while you read, a cool store cat, and, in my opinion, a great atmosphere thanks in part (but not limited to) the excellent music they have on. The trade in policy is nice too, and they have bag sales occasionally, and other promotions. Beats the heck out of a corporate bookstore any day, hands down. Make your way out to the Sandman Book Company, you wont be disappointed.

I love this book nook. I could easily spend hours on end searching their extensive selections. I will always choose to buy my books from them, before searching the aisles of a corporate store, first.

Great selection. Well organized. Good prices. We stop here whenever we are in the area.

Ladies were very helpful, it is a nice, clean and quiet used and new book store. We were looking for Bibles.

So happy to have them open close by! Great selection, friendly staff!

Wow. I needed so much more time than I had. I will be back.

Amazing place. I loved that they had separated Florida history, interests and authors in their own sections. The selection of books is mindblowing, the staff is extremely helpful if theres something particular youre looking for, there apparently is a method to the seeming chaos.

Great selection on all kinds of topics including favorites like Romance, Scifi and History

I love local business. Good having them out on 17!

Extremely rude. I tried asking questions about your books and I was cut off consistently and ignored. Please learn how to run your business.

Nice store. They had three different titles I was looking for at ok prices on two of the three. The parking was easy and if you have a disability their aisles are wide so no worries.

Quite a great book selection with a unique store. It is a must to shop.

Very nice local shop

Very cute, looks like they are still adding many books

Love this used bookstore. Now even more books. Book lovers dream.

Amazing independent book store. Highly recommend 🙂

Helpful staff, clean and orderly store. Personally I prefer the library or Amazon books.

Neat

Wonderful book store! Friendly & very helpful staff. The book I was looking for was not there, but they offered to order it for me😊.

Tons and tons of good reads. One can browse for hours.

This 5 is conditional, the store looked very nice 5hrough windows, or what we could see of it, but it was actually closed, as they are in the process of moving. A eloyee did come out and talk with us, and took or name/email to put us on the news letter list. Am looking forward to a visit at their new location.

Its pretty cool. So many books!

The best book shop in all if Florida

GREAT bookstore! Something for everyone. Once a month all of the used books are 50% off...stock up!

LOVE this bookstore. Awesome, friendly staff and everyone can find a book ( or several) no matter who is yr fav author or topic.

Love! Every book you can imagine! The cat who lives in the book store is so sweet.

The best bookstore weve ever been to.

Big selection. New and used books. Puzzles,cards, etc. Trade in books for credit. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Great place for books. Great people.

Best book store! They have everything you could ever be looking for, a very unique book bridge made out of books, and a cat named Kitty-Wan Kenobi. The couple that runs the store is really nice. You can hang out and read and if you have kids you should definitely go to Princess Storytime.

Eclectic and wide variety of new and old books as single as volume sets. Need a book from 1800? They may have it.
