| On its Way to The "New" Bookshop 7 Years Ago |
Today's Neat Little Bookshop is one of various reincarnations. The pine cupboard shown above began its history as a bookshelf in a market-place on Cayuga Street seven years ago. Build by Hubert Turnbull of East Seneca, Haldimand, today it is the heart of the bookshop.
After two beginnings and endings in different locations on Cayuga Street, The Neat Little Bookshop opened its door in time for Mother's Day, 2007 at 11B, Cayuga Street. In the summer of 2011 fortune had it that 29 Talbot Road became available and we moved to what we think is a perfect location for a neat little bookshop. The original Neat Little Bookshop* was founded in the seventies by Herb Martindale of York. Today we are honoured whenever Herb's daughter, Joyce, and his sister Mary Martindale return to the bookshop.
"Even if you're on the right track,
You'll get run over if you just sit there."
~ Will Rogers (1879 - 1935) American cowboy, actor, writer.
* Herb's would make five locations!
