Where mobile
booksellers
find each other.
From sketching ideas in your journal to rolling into your tenth event, you belong here. Community, resources, and honest talk from people doing the work.
A community of mobile booksellers.
Real people building mobile bookshops and adjacent mobile retail who want to figure it out together. The work is messy, the shelving occasionally falls, and nobody has it all figured out.
We’re still figuring it out too.Built for people who are building as they go.
Share your process, ask for help, and post the half-finished parts too. Whether you're tackling insulation or designing your checkout setup, people here get it.
A live Roundtable every month with no set agenda. Everyone brings what’s on their mind and we talk it through as a group. Every replay lands in the Members Library.

“I wanted a place to ask real questions and get real answers.”
Dani started Curbside Books, a mobile bookstore out of a vintage trolley named Trolley Parton in Boise, Idaho. She wanted a community for people doing the same thing. A place to share questions, get honest answers, and stop figuring it all out alone.
That place didn’t really exist. So she made one. It’s imperfect, still building, and that’s pretty on-brand for the people it’s built for.
Trolleys, vans, trailers,
kiosks, and everything in between.
Whatever you’re rolling in, you belong here.
