Type Books

While wandering around Queen West today, my friend Paul and I stumbled on Type Books. I could have sworn I never saw the place before and a gentle inquiry revealed it’s been open only 3 weeks or so. If you are in the hood, and you are looking for a new collection of good reads to peruse, it’s worth checking out.
