Virtually every San Antonio citizen over a certain age with any interest in literature will have vivid memories of Rosengrens Books. It was the absolute center of literary culture not only in San Antonio, but in Texas, for decades. Indeed, from the 1930s to the 1980s, Rosengrens Books was considered one of the finest bookstores between New York and San Francisco. It was a midcontinent haven for writers as diverse as Frost, John Dos Pasos, J. Frank Dobie, and Larry McMurtry. Rosengrens Books: An Oasis for Mind and Spirit is the story of a great American family of independent booksellers and the important literary institution they created. Beginning as a rare book store in Chicago, Frank and Florence Rosengren brought the store to San Antonio, Texas, in 1935. Located in various downtown locations, it became most well known as the charming book shop behind the Alamo, where it was visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world. At the heart of the story is Florence Rosengren, whom former San Antonio mayor Phil Hardberger calls the Sylvia Beach of South Texas and Texas Observer founding editor Ronnie Dugger described as the chief guardian of civilization from here to Mexico City.
