Pacific Rim Used Books started selling books on the internet in 1995 as a part of "The Business" , a bricks-and-mortar store .
The Business, founded in 1978 by Glen Des Jardins and now owned by Nick Rennis, continues to serve Anacortes
and online customers via its selection of fiercely independent new music.
Thanks to all our customers who have made 25 plus years of online book selling worth while.
