Bruce and Laura DeLaney 

opened Rediscovered Books in September of 2006 to create a place where people could find books and conversation. Since then, Rediscovered Books has grown into Boise's favorite independent bookstore.

Through an expert staff ready to help match people with the right books, great author events, and an ever growing online experience, Rediscovered Books brings the community together. 

With this love of community, books, and reading in mind, Bruce and Laura took over the small bookstore on 13th and State, now known as Once and Future Books. The all used bookstore provides gently used books at great prices as well as a cozy atmosphere with treasures around every corner. 

In the fall of 2019, Rediscovered Books added a second location in Caldwell to spread the love of books and reading farther across the Treasure Valley.  They are excited to help the community in Caldwell grow, starting with a love and passion for reading and books. 

Rediscovered Books is dedicated to helping get books into the hands of children in Idaho and supply many of the Valley's school libraries with great reads. Community book clubs register through the store, and Redicovered hosts and organizes the Human Rights Book Club.  

Rediscovered Books believes that the Treasure Valley is a place with fervent readers who are excited about books.
