About me:

Open Books is a collectively owned bookstore offering a variety of new and used books. We offer publications in all genres, including fiction, non-fiction, children's books, and a Spanish language section. We also carry zines and magazines on a wide array of topics. Our bookstore serves as the physical location for Pensacola's Books to Prisoners program, a non-profit organization that sends free reading and educational material to inmates in Florida prisons. Those interested in participating should stop by and visit during open hours or on Tuesdays after 6 PM. Our store hours are from 12 till 5 PM Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. Remember that we are run by volunteers, so if you're coming from far away you might want to call in advance to make sure we didn't close early. Open Books is located at 4115 Barrancas Avenue in Warrington across from the Hip Pocket Deli. Feel free to contact us with any questions. (850) 453-6774

Who I'd like to meet:

You and everyone you know.

    Maximizing profit by any and all means necessary might be good for a CEO’s career but it is no way to run a responsible company or “Govern” a Country!  Your voice, your life – Paul

    The corporatist’s singular consideration of profit might be good for their CEO’s but it is no way to “Govern” a Country!  Your voice, your life – Paul

    IT TAKES TIME

    by: Trevor Claiborn

    The best things in life don’t come fast or free,

    But sometimes my impatience makes me cheat.

    Though I know I’m wrong, trying to rush things along,

    I get mad when outcomes are incomplete.


    The purpose I serve is much more than my own,

    And Nature’s clock ticks much slower than mine.

    I can gripe and pout or just wait the thing out,

    For the Most High works on It’s own time.


    I can have love, prosperity, and peace

    And all the things that make it joyful to live.

    Sometimes money can’t pay for those treasures—

    Only my patience and willingness to give.


    We are all farmers of the crops of our destiny,

    Semi-conscious of the psychological seeds we sow.

    So to yield the best return, we must learn

    To give things time and let them grow.

    WHATS LOVE
    BY: TREVOR CLAIBORN

    LOOKIN’ FOR LOVE BUT IS IT THERE TO BE FOUND
    IT USE TO MEAN SOMETHING, NOW IT’S JUST ANOTHER SOUND
    SAY IT ALL THE TIME, BUT THE MEANING’S NOT CLEAR
    CONFUSION TO THE MIND, BUT IT’S MUSIC TO THE EAR
    SOME PEOPLE LOVE MONEY.
    SOME LOVE FAME
    IS IT REALLY REAL, IS IT ALL JUST A GAME
    I’M TRYNA FIGURE OUT CAUSE YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW
    FELL IN AND OUT OF LOVE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE
    I TRY TO TAKE IT SLOW BUT EVERYTHING’S SO FAST
    WHY IT SEEM LIKE EVERYTHING GOOD DON’T LAST
    WHY IT SEEM LIKE EVERYTHING BAD STICKS AROUND
    IS LOVE JUST A TOOL TO LOCK SOMEBODY DOWN
    I’M TRYNA BE FREE, I GOTTA STAY ME
    AND IF I GOTTA CHANGE THEN IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE
    BUT SHE SO FINE, I DON’T WANNA’ LET HER GO
    SHE’S ALWAYS ON MY MIND BUT IS IT REALLY LOVE THOUGH


    WHAT’S LOVE, TELL ME THE MEANING
    AND WHY, DOES IT FEEL THIS WAY?
    I WANNA LOVE, BUT IT’S SO DEMEANING
    IS THIS A GAME, I CHOSE TO PLAY
    DON’T BE WALKIN’ AROUND, WITH YOUR HEAD HANGIN’ DOWN
    LIKE SOMEBODY’S DONE YOU WRONG
    BABY DON’T BE ASHAMED, IT’S JUST ALL IN THE GAME
    IT’S BEEN THAT WAY ALL ALONG




    WORDS MEAN NOTHING I COULD YAP FOR DAYS
    SAYIN THE SAME THING JUST I DIFFERENT WAYS
    BUT I’D RATHER SEE ACTION, SHOW ME PROOF
    YOU AIN’T GOTTA SAY NUTTHIN’ SHOW ME TRUTH
    DON’T CHANGE UP FOR ME, SHOW ME YOU
    IS THE FEELIN WORTH EMOTIONS THAT IT TAKES YOU THROUGH
    IF IT IS TAKE IT LIKE A SOLDIER
    IF IT TURNS OUT LIKE IT ALWAYS HAS, SEE I TOLD YA
    I AIN’T SAYIN’ BE COLD BUT LEARN THE CHEMISTRY
    EVERYTHING WE WANT TO BE ISN’T MEANT TO BE
    THEY SAY THE FUTURE IS A REPEAT OF HISTORY
    FROM THE BEGINNING TO NOW IT’S STILL A MYSTERY
    I’M TRYNA’ STAY FREE, I GOTTA’ STAY ME
    AND IF I GOTTA’ CHANGE THAN IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE
    BUT SHE’S SO FINE I DON’T WANNA’ LET HER GO
    ALWAYS ON MY MIND BUT IS IT REALLY LOVE THOUGH
