Pages & Palms · Bookstore · Key West, FL
Beach reads and nautical books up front, puzzles and stationery at the back, local authors at the signing table — and a long table in the middle where the book clubs pull up their chairs.
The front room, mid-afternoon
Book clubs
Pages & Palms keeps clubs going for the island's readers — beach-readers, sea-story people, and the ones who finish the book a week early and can't say a word about it. RSVP and the chair is yours.
Clubs run on what the island reads — fiction, sea stories, beach reads. Pick the one that fits how you read.
The next title is agreed before the night ends, so there's always something waiting on the nightstand. No assigned pages, no quizzes.
RSVP and we'll set the table — mugs, notebooks, and a chair with your name on it.
Clubs fill quickly, and RSVPs get first pick of the seats.

Local authors
Writers live here and write here, and the front table is set for them. Come for a reading, stay for the questions, and take home a copy that was signed while you watched.
The author reads a page or two, then opens the floor to the room.
Copies on hand, pen uncapped, and time to talk about the book itself.
Local author with a new book out? Tell us what you've written and we'll find a date.
In the shop
Four things Pages & Palms does well — and one table where the jigsaw is never finished.
Paperbacks built for a towel and a boat ride — thrillers, romances, and the ones that come home sandy.
Maritime history, sailing memoirs and island lore, shelved together against the back wall.
The island's own writers, on the shelf and at the signing table.
Jigsaws, notebooks, cards and pencils worth writing home with.
