www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday December 17, 2008 - 31 MICHAEL IVANIN / SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER BOOKWORMS: Owners of Oakville R & R Books Robert Campbell, left, and Russell Moreau. Owners looking to bright future Continued from page 30 "He can find anything. People come in looking for books they had as a child and he can help find them. A first edition of a book a person had as a child is such a great gift." The store also buys books and the owners have found that Bronte residents have exceptionally good reading tastes, as they bring in "some really fantastic stuff." "We are very selective about the books we buy because of the exceptional reading habits of the people in the area," said Moreau. Absolutely Oakville is a reading community. They tend to like historical fiction, but it's a wide-ranging audience with sharp eyes. "There's lots of book clubs and reading groups in the area and we seem to be a meeting place for local authors. They tend to congregate in here." Campbell and Moreau said opening the bookstore has been a tough learning experience. "It's been an adventure," said Campbell. "We will definitely not get rich running a used bookstore," said Moreau. "Most people say we're out of our minds and some days we feel that way. We opened the store because of a desire to work for ourselves doing something we love. Not everybody has that opportunity. They say if you don't do it before you're 30, you never do it." Campbell said the "R and R" in the name of their store stands for their first names, Robert and Russell. "But it could also stand for `reuse and recycle'," he said. "We're an environmental alternative. Used books doesn't mean beatup books. Used books make great gifts."
