One of the coolest and oddest shops in the T Dot. Run don't walk kids!
VIBE
That musty book smell that wafts through the air? Oh, it's real. Stephen Fowler looks like he might have been evicted from the local CAMH Mental Asylum but he's SO nice. He's got the Dundas West twitch before it became mainstream. The front window of oddities really has lured us in.
THE GOODS
Want the prefect gift? It's here! I got my dad a replica of the original Canadian Scout handbook penned by Baden Powell (the founder of Scouting). Side note: my dad has been a Scout leader for over 40 years so he'll appreciate this. In the front window, was a copy of the American guide to Scouting which is more of a collector's item from 1959. Ah-may-zing.
I also saw: one of the original Julia Child cookbook guides, A Man's guide to Sex, a book on grasshoppers and cubed up bugs. There are a bunch of beautiful old typewriters laying about and they are on sale. My friend is getting an Olympia for $75 and will repair it.
