History and Staff

Sam Marcus, Proprietor & Book Guru 
More than three decades ago, The Bookworm Bookstore’s proprietor, Sam Marcus, began selling books at the local flea market to fuel his passion for books and maybe make a buck or two. Over the years he built up an impressive inventory, loyal base of customers and life-long friends. Upon retirement from his day job, he moved the store to a more permanent location in the West Shore Farmer’s Market in Lemoyne. With a staff of loyal friends – together with his wife, son and daugher, this family business has hit the big time with an online presence as well.
