Books find a new life at Sellers & Newel that's located in Toronto’s Little Italy neighbourhood at 672 College Street.
After working up an appetite shopping for vintage books, be sure to check out everything else Little Italy has to offer, especially the authentic Italian pizza!
Sellers & Newel opened its doors in 2011 and is family-run by owner and founder Peter Sellers.
The quaint family feel of the store allows customers to browse through the selection of secondhand books as if they were looking through a friend’s collection as every book in Sellers & Newel has been specially picked by Peter and his staff.
While the store may be on the smaller side, the books here are nothing but quality picks.
This bookstore doesn't carry the typical bestsellers you might expect to find in most stores. Instead, Sellers & Newel stocks literature from the 20th century and genres range from poetry, drama, science fiction and crime fiction, as well as niche topics like martial arts and philosophy.
If there is a certain book that you are just dying to get your hands on but you can’t find it in the store, be sure to ask the helpful staff at Sellers & Newel.
The store has a large storage centre as well as contacts throughout Toronto, so these folks won't stop until you find just the book you are looking for.
While the bookstore is home to the best secondhand books, it is also a cool space to hang out after hours as it turns into an intimate event space called the Literary Society.
