About The Odd Book
Founded in 1977, The Odd Book provides secondhand and rare books to satisfy a variety of tastes. Travellers and Wolfville residents alike shop here for mysteries, westerns, science fiction and other light reading at affordable prices. Quality academic non-fiction is another of the store's strengths. There are always plenty of new titles, with Acadia University's students and professors stopping in to buy and to sell. Wolfville is a bookish sort of town, with more than 40 per cent of its adult population holding post-secondary degrees.
As well as being a university town, Wolfville is also situated in the centre of a settled rural community. This larger community's tastes are reflected in the store's many titles on practical topics, from beekeeping to boat building. Through a wide range of local contacts, the store is regularly supplied with antiquarian books and ephemera related to the history and literature of Atlantic Canada. The store's owner, Jim Tillotson, travels actively in search of specialty stock, and maintains contacts through online databases to a global network of book dealers and book buyers.
Still at its original location on the town's historic Front Street, near the old harbour, The Odd Book provides two floors of great browsing. From the rear windows on the second floor, you can enjoy the vista of the 18th century Acadian dyked marshlands. Beyond them stand the rich blue and ochre slopes of Cape Blomidon. Within a short walking distance of the store are craft stores, fine restaurants, tasty coffee bars, historic Acadia University, and beautiful residential streetscapes inherited from Georgian and Victorian builders. The Odd Book welcomes you to Wolfville.
