John and Marquetta T.
Business Owner
Marquetta and John are two small town East Texas kids who loved to read and were lucky enough to find a way to work with books ever since their first part time bookstore in Terrell, Texas in 1973 called Saturday Books since that was the only day it was open.
They feel fortunate to be in the world of used books since this lets them see lots of books that other readers found out about instead of being limited to only those that they came to know about if they had been in new books.
