Our Staff


Jan and Bob PicThe husband and wife team of Jan Bolgla & Bob Roarty have owned Atlanta Vintage Books since 2007.  Prior to this, Jan owned her own graphic design business and Bob worked in commercial print management.  As they like to explain, "We were both pretty burned out and ready for a change, when Jan came across an advertisement announcing a bookstore was for sale. We'd always loved books and bookstores, and thought, 'We can do this!  We've got to go for it...If we  don't, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives. Three months later, we were the proud and slightly stunned owners of our very own bookstore...and we've loved it ever since!"
