Coast to Coast Books is the lifelong passion project turned successful business of bibliophile and proprietor Ben Gustin.

Ben traveled frequently as a kid, and by the time he was fourteen, he had lived in four different states on two different coasts. He gradually grew his collection from books he loved reading as a kid: The Redwall Series, Where the Red Fern Grows, Hatchet, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and anything by Stephen King. Inspired by his mother's career as a percussionist, he also began collecting posters and magazine articles on bands she played with, like Balafon and the Grateful Dead, as well as his favorite bands; Led Zeppelin, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and other classic rock artists from the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

Today, Coast to Coast Books boasts an impressive collection of books and ephemera focused on the nostalgia of Ben's upbringing. Popular children's literature like My Father's Dragon and Where the Wild Things Are, and rare band posters and album covers from the classic rock era come together in a single collection that is sure to tug on the heartstrings of any 90's kid.
