Store History Our story began in 1972, when the Blauer family opened the San Marco Bookstore in historic San Marco Square in Jacksonville, Florida. John and Laura Blauer, as well as their son, Mike, ran a used bookstore for over 25 years at our same current address. Fast forward to 1999, when Janet and Mike Molyneaux purchased the San Marco Bookstore in order to live their love of books every day. Still a family-centered operation, we soon realized that the somewhat tired used bookstore was really a diamond in the rough whose customers would benefit from some carefully planned improvements. Changes and investments were needed as we took up the orange, brown and gold carpet from the '70's, replaced the Lawrence Welk and Mantovani record area with more local book titles, began to cater more to children and families, and worked hard to put our own stamp on the bookstore. We listened to our customers and learned what they wanted to find in our store.
