An accountant and an independent retail consultant, our proprietor is committed to helping independent merchants compete and building sustainable communities.

Our name "tia" is inspired by the acronym, TINA (there is no alternative), popularized in the 80s in reference to the big box stores and an inevitable move to globalization. We remove the "n" because our team of booksellers believe that there is always an alternative, independent shops, and a story. We look forward to helping you find yours.
