It’s one of the coolest, if not the coolest little shop in downtown Tampa. The Old Tampa Book Company sells more than 40,000 collectible, rare, used and out-of-print books. You can search their inventory online, but it’s so much more fun to loiter there and read inside their store — and they welcome you to do it. Oh, and there’s a great $1 book sale on the sidewalk. 507 N. Tampa St., Tampa, 813-209-2151, oldtampabookcompany.com. —JG
