LOCAL.

An independent bookstore + gallery with a chip on its shoulder about good books.

Curated shelves, a wall of work by local artists, puzzles for the rainy weekend, and stationery worth writing with. The little Edgemont shop you leave with more than you came for. Free parking out back.

FOUR REASONS
YOU’LL OVERSTAY.

It says “books & gallery” on the door, but that’s underselling it.

The Books

Curated fiction, kids’ and local-interest, with North Shore authors up front.

The Art Wall

A rotating show of local artists. The “& gallery” is not a typo.

Puzzles & Games

The long-weekend rescue. Jigsaws and games for the kitchen table.

Stationery

Cards, notebooks & pens for the letter you keep meaning to send.

HALF BOOKSHOP.
HALF GALLERY.

One wall, given over to work by local artists, switched out through the season. Come for a novel, walk out with a neighbour’s canvas.

Feature painting on the gallery wall — Feature

A framed piece ready to hang — Next show

A colourful abstract canvas — Local artist

A shelf of fine editions — Fine editions

An ornate hall lined with books — Browse

Owner to supply — this season’s real artist wall + the maker’s name card. We’d swap in the real work.

THIS MONTH’S PICKS.

The hand-written shelf-talkers are half the fun. Here’s the shape — the real titles would be the shop’s own.

// The Novel

Can’t Put It Down

The one the staff won’t shut up about. Shelf-talker included. Owner supplies the title.

// Read Local

North Shore Stories

BC writers, local voices — the section the regulars hit first.

// For Kids

The Read-Aloud Stack

Picture books for the village’s smallest readers, refreshed all the time.

Owner to supply — this month’s three real staff-pick titles + the shelf-talkers. We’d swap in real covers.
