Mitchell Kaplan opened the first Books & Books in 1982 in a small, 500 sq. ft. space in Coral Gables, just after dropping out of law school at the age of 25. The modest bookstore developed a very strong following for our vast collection of books on art, architecture, and photography. Creating a literary movement Miami had never seen before.

Mitchell’s vision of building an environment where like-minded people could gather, learn and discuss became a reality and it was clear that we had something special. The Books & Books at Suniland Shops opened its doors in May of 2017 and serves a vibrant community of readers, young and old. With so many schools in the area, our Suniland store is the perfect spot to find the titles on your child’s summer reading lists or choose the perfect young adult book for a blossoming reader.

Swing by the colorful and warm Suniland bookshop to ask Dylan for a great nonfiction recommendation or Carolyn for her latest fiction page-turner.
