The proprietors of Artielbooks, Sue and Bob Lillington, ran a used book store in north Toronto for over twelve years. That store, Second Time Around Books, had several incarnations on Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road, and was known at one time as "The Best Little Bookstore In Toronto". It was one of the few stores selling current magazines, as well as back issues of Life, Rolling Stone, Interview, Gourmet, and so on. In April 2006 it finally succumbed, like many other bookstores of its kind, to the increasing costs of doing business in a real, open to the public, store.
Artielbooks.com is an attempt to carry on the same kind of business online. We intend to carry an eclectic collection of books, magazines and ephemera, and hope that you will find items that you have been looking for for ages, and almost given up hope of ever finding.
