Our second location is now open with cookbooks ready for you to browse across from the post office downtown ! We are still working on the children's section in the room behind the cookbooks where we will offer pre-school children's books (picture book only) for sale in the future. At this point in time, this store is cash only until we get a POS system in place to accept credit and debit cards. Message us with your cookbook requests. This store is just an extension of our main store - we are not moving our main store to this location.

We don't get many poisonous books in the store - the closest we could come is Alan Bradley’s internationally bestselling series which follows 11-year-old Flavia de Luce—a precocious amateur detective and aspiring chemist with a passion for poison—as she solves the never-ending mysteries of her small English village! There are also some mystery and true crime books in the store that focus on poison as the killing agent as well!

It’s always fun when a famous writer (and playwright, journalist, and screenwriter!)visits our store. Canadian novelist Shane Peacock is perhaps best known for his popular Boy Sherlock YA series of books about the childhood exploits of the famous detective. He also has a new ‘Northern Gothic’ mystery series for adults as well.
Thanks for stopping in Shane!

Gracie says: the books were being traded into the store fast and furious due to the long weekend last week. We're working hard to get everything processed and out on the shelves as quickly as possible. It's the time of the midsummer reading turnover so if you've got newer bestsellers from the last 6 years or so, we are in desperate need! (Gracie belongs to our staff member Brooklyn and comes to pick Brooklyn up from work every day. She is happy to say hi to you if you are here when she comes by.)
