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.”

Please check my FaceBook page for announcements of special events happening in the shop 
My usual hours are 1–7 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 hour 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, 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 buy more 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!
I’M BACK! AND I HOPE YOU WILL BE, TOO.
It has been my great pleasure to serve up a delicious selection of cookbooks to customers near and far for the past 22 years.
Phase II opening begins on June 22, which means retail stores may admit customers.
As much as I’d love to see all of you pouring through the door at once, I’ve decided for safety’s sake to limit that potential pour to a trickle.
For at least the first week, I will welcome just one customer at at time, and you may stay for up to one hour. So that this goes smoothly, please make an appointment by email or phone (leave a message). It needn’t be far in advance (I don’t expect to have every hour reserved). The sidewalk out front is too narrow to accommodate people waiting outside, so I want to avoid that.
Please come in only if you’re feeling well. You must wear a mask while in the shop (please do not wear gloves). I’ll offer you hand sanitizer when you arrive and before you leave, and will take your name and phone number (for contact tracing if someone turns out to be sick). We’ll keep that all-important 6-foot distance from one another.
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 week, and that’s especially true now. We’ll see how it goes. If you can’t come in during open hours, I’m happy to make an appointment for a time that works for you.
Looking forward — to everything!
