Secondhand · since 1975
A tiny secondhand shop in a nineteenth-century brick house steps from McGill, open since 1975. The founders started it in their own apartment; today its shelves are curated for serious readers of literature, philosophy and poetry, and it still pays in cash and keeps its old-fashioned charm.

Bookshop questions: Montreal
- How many bookshops are listed in Montreal?
The Atlas currently lists 79 active bookshops in Montreal. This is the number in our directory, not a claim that every shop in the area has been recorded.
- Can I find secondhand bookshops in Montreal?
12 listed shops are categorised as selling secondhand books. Stock changes frequently; ask a shop directly if you need a particular book.
- Are the opening hours and accessibility details checked?
The Atlas displays available source information. A listing without opening hours or access details is incomplete, not necessarily closed or inaccessible. Check each shop's website and confirm anything essential before travelling.
- Can I plan a bookshop walk in Montreal?
Use the map and the crawl planner to choose stops close together. Displayed route distances are estimates, not turn-by-turn walking directions. Check crossings, hills, opening times and the actual walking route before setting off.
Plan a bookshop crawl- Can I add a shop or correct a listing?
Yes. Send the shop's name, location and a reliable website or other source. Suggestions and corrections are reviewed before changing the Atlas.
