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.”

“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.
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!
It has been my great pleasure to serve up a delicious selection of cookbooks to customers near and far for the past 28 years.
And now a word about some music I’ll be making on Sunday. The shop will be open, with Michael at the helm, but I’ll be around the corner singing at Old St. Pat’s. Shop for books and hear great music in a single afternoon!
On Sunday, May 3 at 4 PM, Amor Artis returns to the sublime acoustics of the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral for the final concert of our 2025-2026 season: A Cappella Through the Ages, a celebration of unaccompanied choral music spanning eight centuries.
Experience the power and versatility of the human voice with some of the most gorgeous music ever written for unaccompanied choir, including Charles Hubert Parry’s Songs of Farewell—achingly beautiful music that seems to distill the entire English choral tradition; Renaissance perfection from the hand of Josquin des Prez; C. V. Stanford’s stunning partsong The Blue Bird; and gospel, folk songs, and more!

Coming to the shop? I post my hours here every Sunday night, and you can also check them by phone; they may not be the same every week. (Ignore hours you see posted on Google; they don’t originate with me.)
If you can’t come in during open hours, make an appointment for a time that works for you. Please give me as much notice as possible.
Looking forward — to everything!
