There was a time when the landed aristocracy sent their young sons out to learn of the world before returning to the governance of their wealthy estates. Richard IV was one such young man. His father's estate was vast, one that Richard would one day administer and inherit. His mother expected no less of Richard but wondered about his penchant for poetry rather than prose. It was Mary's way of saying Richard had less interest in the administration of their estate than was expected of him. A special concern of his father's, Richard III.

For Samuel, Richard's friend, who had little motivation beyond joyful revelry, night after night, it was the same. He, too, was expected to one day explore the world as it existed in sixteenth century England. That being the case, Samuel invited himself to join Richard, against Richard's initial objections. Their first days of travel were taken with ease, their nights spent in music and merriment. It wasn't long, however, before these two naive young men found themselves without the means of their families' wealth. Forced to survive on their own merits, they were delegated to the life of commoners, an unwelcome but enlightening experience not afforded them while growing up in the luxury of their families' wealth.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
