The store was started in 2013, by Gerry Smith, an obsessive reader who ships titles from the U.S. and hand selects them for sale.
“La Roma is devoted to the idea that books are an unequaled way for human beings to share ideas and information,” the website declares. “To book lovers, books give insight and pleasure that is immeasurable. That is why we are here and doing our best to offer a quality bookstore.”
The store shares its location with La Roma Records, which sells new and used vinyl, cd’s and turntables.
