About Us, Or how and why we specialize in mailing books to Inmates.
His name is Roy Garcia.
A Texas prison inmate, Roy, wrote our bookstore in the early 1990s asking how he could get cheap used books. We had always helped our local customers mail books to their loved ones in Texas Prisons, We worked with Roy, and then other inmates and the word spread. Soon, the bookstore was getting letters from inmates accross the state then calls and orders from folks with loved ones in prisons all over Texas.
IMailToPrison.Com went online in 2007.
After launching the website, we were getting orders from around the country and around the world. As orders came in for inmates incarcerated in other jurisdictions, we researched the requirements of each state and learned what we could do for different jurisdictions.
We now offer a variety of printed materials: New books, used books, calendars, magazine subscriptions, and back issue magazines. Some stock is located in the IMailToPrison suite, while others are mailed from our national wholesaler and magazine subscriptions are issued by the individual publishers. We mail USPS as required by many prisons and jails.
IMailToPrison.Com still works closely with, but separately from, the bookstore
The Paperback Shop. Established in 1971 in Dickinson Texas, about halfway between Houston and Galveston. The current owner, Jane Gray, started work at the store then called Paperback Swap N Shop in 1989 and bought the store in 2005. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 was our fourth and worst flood. The store reopened on higher ground and was renamed The Paperback Shop in March of 2018.

Thank you Jane. Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated. A little delay is not a problem. Unfortunately, Michael has lots of time on his hands. (bad joke)... I tried some of the big book Sellers and could find no compassion nor cooperation.
I'm so glad that I found you Jane. I will order from you again, and only from you.
