About Lighthouse Books, ABAA
Welcome to the blog for Lighthouse Books, ABAA. My name is Michael Slicker. We are a family-owned and operated antiquarian bookstore that was open 40 years in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida.

Bookmark us or subscribe to an RSS feed so that you will be alerted when we make updates. Please follow the links to our spot on AbeBooks and our online bookstore for listings of some of what we have available. Thank you for visiting us online. You can visit us in person at 14046 5th Street in Dade City. We specialize in rare books, unusual books, antique maps, vintage photographs and more.
