A cute little bookstore with books for adults and kids. I always love a good local book shop, and was glad to see there was still one on Sanibel.

Such a great local bookstore. Rebecca the owner is often in the shop. She always has great recommendations and is happy to order anything she doesn’t have in stock. Also has a good selection of kids books including middle grade and picture book. Plus she’s always giving back to our community from donating gift cards to the school to being active in community non profits the store and owner are an important part of our island.

The owner was absolutely wonderful. Truly one of the sweetest people I talked to while on the island. The book selection is not very large, but I found a book that was on my list!

I can't explain how delighted I was to patronize this a local bookstore on the island! It was my first time staying in the Sanibel property that my husband and I purchased 2 and 1/2 years ago, 28 days before Ian destroyed it. My stay this month has been an exploration for me in building community in this place, and a big part of that has been identifying and supporting local businesses. My first visit to McIntosh Books + Paper certainly won't be my last, and I definitely urge any folks who rent our place on island also check it out while they are here! I was able to snag a gorgeous journal to be used in the new year, some beautiful note cards, and some super interesting books. There's a great selection, and it's set up in such a welcoming way. The store owner was extremely friendly and very helpful in guiding individuals in the store in finding books they might enjoy based on their questions. Support Sanibel small businesses; it's very easy to do when the businesses are as charming as this one!
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
