A world in a Grain of Sand

Your Smile for Today ~

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wildflower:
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

~ William Blake, English poet (1757 - 1827)

Book Lovers Everywhere


The Neat Little Bookshop ~ one of the first photos. Some of the walls were still bare!
When we took the name of the business that friend and neighbour, Herb Martindale, had begun, we had no idea whether the village of Cayuga would support a reincarnation of Herb's old bookshop.

Herb's customers have come back; new customers have arrived and travellers looking for a used book store have made our effort worthwhile.
The enthusiasm shown by book lovers everywhere make us work harder to ensure that the little bookshop remains a landmark.
We will have been in this location for three years this coming Mother's Day! Thank you, to our readers and to you our customers.

Winter Hours:
Wed. 11 - 5; Thu. 11 - 5; Fri. 11 - 7; Sat. 11 - 3. Or ~ Please call if you have run out of reading. 905-577-5635
