Steven Temple Books can be found in downtown Toronto, Canada on the second floor of a building on Queens Street West. Once a mecca of used bookstores, Steven Temple Books remains one of the only remaining antiquarian bookshops on the block.
Established in 1974, the store specializes in literary first editions from the 19th and 20th centuries. A truly unique shop, it boasts over 50,000 hard covers with a good stock of out of print, scarce and rare books. Steven Temple Books has an impressive selection of Canadian literature, making it hard to leave without a treasure you didn't know you couldn't live without.
This quintessential antiquarian bookstore leaves no space unused, filled to the brim - floor to ceiling with unique and rare literary antiquities for you to find. If you're lucky, you might be granted access to the back room, where you'll travel through a tunnel of old produce boxes used as makeshift bookshelves, creating an atmosphere of mystery and adventure in exploring a world of new-to-you treasures and troves.
Be sure to plan your visit in advance or leave it to luck, the shop doesn't have set hours but with many literary treasures to be found is well worth the visit for any book enthusiast.
