Search For fifteen years, Balfour Books lived at the heart of Toronto's Little Italy at the corner of College and Clinton. Always a cozy and inviting spot for a daytime destination or an evening's browsing, made all the more so with the help of its resident store dogs (now fondly missed). In September of 2010, Balfour Books moved down the street to a brand new location at 468 College. Our new store is brighter, but our atmosphere is just as inviting. And our shelves still stock the best in used art, photography architecture, design, graphic and illustrated, fiction, poetry, drama, cooking, mystery, fashion, childrens, biography, philosophy and opera books in the city. Come join us for a look.more...See more text
Brand new books can cost an arm and a leg, particularly new edition hardcovers. But at Balfour Books you can get many coveted releases for a fraction of the price. The bookshop originally started out at College and Clinton but relocated to its new location once its popularity required a larger space. What that’s meant for bookworms is more titles, more editions and greater variety. You’ll find every genre: philosophy, opera, literature, poetry and many more.
