The most interesting (and rare) books in the store are housed in our vintage & collectable display cases. Exhibiting antiquarian treasures bound in vellum (dating back to the early 1600’s), leather-bound sets and vintage curiosities as well as modern first editions, signed and specialty copies our cases are always interesting!

As many of our customers are aware, British Columbia is experiencing massive flooding that has destroyed all land routes into the rest of Canada. Since we are located in Victoria, B.C., our ability to special order books as well as to ship books to our customers has been severely affected.
The good news: there’s still lots of time before Christmas for your packages to arrive! We recommend going ahead with any Christmas ordering you have in mind, simply keeping in mind that things may take a little longer in the next few weeks.
The bad news: we are expecting delays of about 5-7 days on all orders shipping within Canada.
We really appreciate your patience as we work through this difficult situation.
