For some of us the dyin’ breed moniker is often a badge of honor. Coming upon this fine establishment last winter; seeking it out in fact as a must stop and peruse: I was thoroughly impressed with items I had long thought were lost to the dustbins of indie boys and girls of a certain age and aesthetic. So much to buy, so little space remaining in my tote bag. You’re pretty much left alone to scavenge at will. A sister store to Printed Matter it seems. Definitely a must in Toronto.

It’s impossible for me to go into this bookstore without wanting to buy almost everything I see. The collection of artist books, zines, prints, exhibited works, etc. is wonderful and you’d be hard pressed finding a lot of their stock anywhere else.
They’re quite close to Queen St. so if you happen to be out shopping or wandering aimlessly in that area, it’s only a short walk to get to and it’s definitely worth it.
