thousands of titles in various editions, from buttery vintage pocket paperbacks to first editions!
Find everything from a first edition Hemingway (!!) to a Zadie Smith paperback, aged anarchist treatise, niche sapphic poetry, crisp Folio, vintage bird guide, and multitudes more. Paper Birch Books is a love letter to print culture, a beloved neighbourhood hub, and a jam-packed treasure trove of literary classics, cult faves, contemporary bangers, and underrepresented gems. We also have kids books, art books, cookbooks, comics & graphic novels, and a small but robust sci-fi & fantasy section.
Our collection is offline, as we turn over hundreds of used books every week and our new book inventory is still being updated. Call the bookstore during store hours to check if we have a specific title!
This October, we're proud to launch DUCKWEED by Kathryn Lennon, designed by Paper Birch Books co-owner Céline Chuang! Reserve a copy here and choose Local Pick-Up at check-out.
