If you can't find what you like please fill out our search form and we will search our off-line inventory (another 100,000 or so books) for you. Gift certificates are also available in any amount you wish and can be mailed to the happy recipient of your choice.

We also offer appraisal services.

Selling your books?  We are always seeking to purchase quality material, large and small: from wee little pamphlets through to your curiously tidy copy of The Joy of Cooking and on up to that elusively in-progress, omniglot, not quite existent but fully apparatussed edition of The Complete Works of Everyone (University of Brookfield Press, 1947-1998?) that is languishing in your den along with the rare Juvenalia Universalia sub-series. But seriously, we do buy items daily in the shop: from the humble Penguin paperback (a particular favourite here) to the multi-volume academic monograph. The departments listed on the right are a useful guide to the topics we especially seek. Old & new, big & little, with a special premium put on the ephemeral and the unusual. (In the larger sense, we too are book customers and get very excited (John becomes almost undusty) whenever we see something fun, something out of the ordinary, something really special which we can add to our stock).

For substantial & promising accumulations, both private and institutional, we will travel anywhere in the Maritime provinces. And for Gutenbergs, well,...if we're out of stock and if it has a decent dustjacket... hmmm... perhaps as far as Vermont.

Please feel free to contact us with any further questions.

And, yes, one word of advice, given on the basis of many horror stories: please do not throw out anything which is even vaguely old, before having us (or another qualified bookseller) taking a look for you. That inconsequential-looking little booklet that you tossed this morning might have been worth more than the entire trunkload you just brought down for our inspection.
