Have you ever seen a tree?
D-uh! Of course!
What is a tree then?
A tall, thick, woody plant.
Right answer, if you want to get technical about it.
But this book is not about getting technical.
It’s about smelling, feeling, hearing, and really, really looking at trees. It’s about looking down (to spot fallen tree bounty), and looking up (to spot canopy patterns against the sky). It’s about leaves and flowers and seeds and fruits and roots and shoots. It’s about find-outing and walk-around-ing, write downing and I-wonder-why-ing. But it is ultimately about arriving, by yourself, at the non-technical answer to the question ‘What is a tree?’, which will only be revealed to you when you learn to see a tree as you truly should—not with your eyes but with your heart.

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
