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.
I’ll be CLOSED this Sunday to sing an annual holiday concert with the Amor Artis Chamber Choir. It’s at 4 pm at “Old St. Pat’s” (the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral) at Mott and Prince Streets in SoHo. It’s always a brilliant concert (she said modestly) and usually sells out, so if you want to come, please order your tickets soon! amorartis.org
The book signing with Bee Wilson on November 15 was a great success; everyone who came had the chance to speak to Bee and discover how warm and wonderful (and brilliant) she is. I have signed copies of her new book, “The Heart-Shaped Tin”, which explores why we sometimes feel such strong emotional bonds to humble kitchen objects: One chapter is about me and my mother’s favorite saltshaker. Come in and pick one up (what a perfect holiday gift!) or ask me to send you a copy.
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!
