These two wonderful people are siblings Garth and Margo Johnston, who reached out to me when I lost my lease. They are now my landlords, or, as I prefer to call them, my “angels.”

My usual hours are now 1–6 pm, six days a week (with the closed day varying from week to week). Please call ahead to check for weekly variations the schedule; my hours are here on my website, on my voicemail, and posted in front of the shop. I’d also be happy to make an appointment at a time convenient for you.
Worldwide shipping, local deliveries by bike, gift certificates, registries, and free gift wrapping always available!
Mastercard, VISA, AMEX, Discover (both credit and debit), personal checks, and traveler’s checks accepted. Oh yes, cash, too.
PLEASE NOTE: As of March 3, 2016, I will no longer accept AMAZON VISA cards. I have no interest in encouraging people to shop on Amazon.
“DO YOU BUY BOOKS FROM INDIVIDUALS?”
I hear this question every single day. Yes, of course I do! That’s where I get 99% of my stock. I don’t usually buy entire collections; I carefully choose books that suit my shop.
**Please do not bring in books to sell without speaking to me first.**
The easiest way to show me what you have is by taking digital photos of the books on shelves or in stacks, so that the spine titles can be read, and emailing those to me. If you have fewer than a dozen books, call and read me the titles. Donations are also welcome!
It has been my great pleasure to serve up a delicious selection of cookbooks to customers near and far for the past 24 years.
SUNDAY CONCERT! The shop will be closed on Sunday, December 3 as I’ll be singing a holiday concert with the Amor Artis Chamber Choir. I’ve done this for the past 25 years or so, and it’s always a highlight of the season for me. Our conductor, Ryan Brandau, puts together a fascinating program that combines ancient chant, familiar carols (in his inimitable arrangements) and anthems, Renaissance polyphony, and some stirring instrumentals. It’s a great way to spend an hour or so on a Sunday afternoon. The concert is at 4 pm, at the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral (aka “Old St. Pat’s”), on the corner of Mott and Prince Streets. For more information: https://www.amorartis.org/holiday
And if you like what you hear, join us for our all-Bach concert on New Year’s Eve!
Even though things are mostly back to normal (pandemic-wise), I continue to offer private “shopportunities!” If you’d be more comfortable being the only customer in the shop, don’t hesitate to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT outside my regular hours. You can have a half-hour or one-hour slot at your convenience and not worry about sharing space with other shoppers. Please call me or send an email and we’ll set up a time.
GIFT CERTIFICATES can be purchased in person or ordered by phone or email.
THANK YOU to everyone who has visited since I reopened, on June 22, 2020. To those who prefer to place email or phone orders, I can still do local deliveries by bike as well as shipping books (as always).
My hours are posted here, and you can also check them by phone. (But NEVER rely on what’s posted on Google—it’s invariably wrong.) Remember that my hours are not the same every single week. If you can’t come in during open hours, make an appointment for a time that works for you.
Looking forward — to everything!
