About Us

One thing my parents taught me about business is,
"find a problem, then provide a solution."

  

 

My daughter loves to read. She enjoys books so much that she would even look at books from our local dollar tree store that they set out weekly. As much as she enjoys browsing, though, one complaint she always had was how difficult it was to find fiction books on mental health and mental illness/disorders. As an aspiring psychologist, this topic has a soft spot in her heart. That stuck in my mind for a long time. So, I decided that I want to give her, and the rest of the community who are looking for the same things as her, a place where they can easily find their books. And why stop with books? Why not also become a one-stop shop for reading accessories? And so, the T & R Underground Bookstore was born, a place where you can find books related to mental health, illness, and wellness - both fiction and nonfiction. 
Founded in Las Vegas, Nevada, in our downstairs bedroom that I called my "idea place, my quiet place, and my junk space." Now, I also call it my "messy, work-in-progress work room." Est. 2023.
