New and Used Books


"New and Used Books/ Your Favourite Authors...," our ad reads. We are frequently asked by puzzled customers, "Are these new?" The Neat Little Bookshop prides itself on carrying only new and like-new books ~ never musty, smoky or mangled ~ so our books are easily taken as new.
Fortunately for our planet, there is an ever-growing popular philosophy of Recycle/Reuse/Re-read. (In addition, the nostalgic aspect of the lovely old book never loses its appeal.)
The ad ends with "The coffee pot's always on..." So come in, visit The Neat Little Bookshop and Go Green!

First Christmas Card


Today, on the first day of December, the first snowflakes and our first beautiful Christmas card arrived.
Parts of Ontario apparently broke a record this year ~ this is the first time since the '30s that there was a snow-free November.
Christmas in Ontario by Cheryl MacDonald describes the traditional country sleigh rides, church bells, singing, family gatherings around the Christmas tree, gifts and of course the festive turkey dinner.
