| - I love coming to this magical and eccentric book shop every time I'm in Toronto. The first thing you notice when walking in is the smell--a mix of old wood, leather, and books. The shop is relatively small but well curated and full of character.
The quality of the books is generally high, but be aware that they specialize in unusual and antiquarian items, curiosities, and kitsch items. You won't find used paperback copies of "Eat, Pray, Love" here; instead, you'll find wonderful old books about gardening, sex, cats, art, film, witchcraft, etc. A great place to shop for interesting coffee table books or unique gifts.
They do have a small section of literature and classics, but again, this isn't Barnes and Noble: if you come in looking for something specific, you may not find it here. Rather, come prepared to stumble upon something strange and unexpected.
