Humble Beginnings
TheBookFool.com was NOT created at some exotic location by the spurring of a valiant young man who would latter become the President of the United States. In 1898, America was going to war with Spain. Theodore Roosevelt left his post with the Navy to form a ragtag group latter named the Rough Riders. The Rough Riders was comprised of a mixture of cowboys and Ivy League scholars. The Rough Riders are famous for their valiant assault of San Juan Hill, Cuba in July of 1898. The term Rough Riders would have been familiar in popular culture in the USA due to Buffalo Bill’s traveling show named “Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World.” Buffalo Bill then went on to open his own hotel in Cody, Wyoming named after his beloved daughter, Irma. During a visit to the Irma Hotel, Teddy Roosevelt reminisced his days with the Rough Riders and recalled something that was discussed during a campout at the base of San Juan Hill, Cuba the night before the historic charge. The Ivy League scholars were discussing books and the old cowboys were grimly staring at them. One of these cowboys, gritty and greasy from days outside, turned to Roosevelt and stated, “Them’s a bunch of Book Fools.” Roosevelt, being the utmost fool for books, then named his company TheBookFool.com.
TheBookFool.com WAS founded by a young gentleman during his third year of college as he noticed that many student were not getting a fair shake at the local bookstores during textbook buyback. Fortunately, he had an idea and it worked.
