We continue to have "snail mail" in the old building on Lakeshore Road and we can still meet with our customers on a by-appointment basis. We currently have roughly 15,000 titles listed on this website and have a total of approximately 150,000 books in storage. If you are interested in picking up any of our books:

WE ARE STILL BUYING AND SELLING BOOKS, SHEET MUSIC, PHOTOGRAPHS AND OTHER PAPER ITEMS.
Our belief statement:
A bookshop is in the trade of ideas and the wisdom of the ages. Masterfully constructed tales that can inspire hope and provide solace. We trade in entertainment and humor to lighten the ravaged soul. We broker exotic theories and simple universality in being human.
We’re selling Voltaire, Twain, Dickens, Vonnegut, Huxley, Darwin, Dawkins, Orwell and Danielle Steel. People come here when they want to learn about solar energy, build a canoe, save money for their retirement or delve into the infinite mysteries of the cosmos.
We sell time, hopefully well spent. Time that heals, and teaches and that fosters dreams. We sell dreams. Think on it.
One chain in the link. Writer, publisher, retailer, wholesaler, thriftstore, dreamseller.
We alleviate the boredom on a bus ride home from work. We assist in the miracle of a child at play. We help an older woman find a memory long forgotten that is welcomed back with the blush of coy youth. We sell to a man down on his luck, the strength to continue, and an idea to better his lot.
To the uninitiated, we sell initiation. To the unloved, love. To the uninspired, inspiration. To the collector, the collectible. To the unwanted, a sense of belonging. And to those who thought they couldn't ever dance again, we’ve sold Happy Feet.
Sometimes, we give them away, free. And sometimes we make good money from these ideas, these dreams. But most times we make just enough to get by. We are rich in books. R.I.P. Dennis of Oregon
