- Our new location at 262b Geary Ave won't be open yet for the Block Party on Saturday, Sep 20, but we'll be there, with a table and a selection of books. Swing by, say hello, and get a peek at the new space! #gearyblockparty
- It's official: our Harbord Street location is now CLOSED permanently. But don't be too sad: we will reopen soon at 262B Geary Ave! And web orders will continue as normal while our storefront is closed.

- We're moving in September, and you know what that means: Sales! Our Rummage Sale, clearing out the books that have piled up in our basement over 36 years, is on now! Drop by and check it out!
- Hey, have you heard our big news? After 36 years at our Harbord Street location, we'll be moving over the summer to a bright new space on up-and-coming Geary Avenue! We'll see you there in September!

- Canadian Independent Bookstore Day is coming up, and we're planning a couple of in-store special promotions to celebrate! For one day only, on April 26: • Buy any new book, and choose a second-hand/clearance book from our famous Super Sale Cart for free! #cibd2025 #canadianindiebookstoresday (1/2)
- We love a good book recommendation thread! A reminder that if you're looking for a title we don't currently have in the store, we can order it for you, and we ship internationally. Our staff are great at tracking down hard-to-find books, as long as they're still in print somewhere.
