Until then, however, we shall continue to function full-speed ahead, maintaining regular hours as posted (Mon-Sat 10-6, Sun 11:30-5:30). Special orders, credit notes and gift certificates will be honoured as usual; and, to further accommodate customers, can also be collected between noon and 2:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, for the first two weeks of April, after which they will necessarily be cancelled.

The Booker judges recently announced their shortlist of six books, and after some deliberation of our own, we've decided to announce that we will be reviving our popular Saturday Matinee: Booker Shortlist Bookclub.

The dates for the bookclub will all be Saturdays at 2:00 and are: October 27th, November 24th, December 29th, January 26th, February 23rd and March 23rd. What books we read on which date will depend on availability, but we will try read the winner, which will be announced on October 16th, last, in March.

All of the books will be available in paperback, except for the Will Self, and the cost of the bookclub will be $165.96

To sign up please phone us at 416.777.2665 to reserve your spot today, - the bookclub will be limited to 15 people. We will be accepting payment over the phone, but if you would like to pay by cash or debit, please come in and visit us! Also feel free to phone us with any questions.

Sail by spiceboat along the narrow backwaters of Kerala, pass through the magnificent temple towers of Madurai, explore tropical jungles and witness the modern wonders of Mumbai. Reading Southern India is a book club for the truly adventurous!
