Store Description

Great Books and Cafe is located in the historic mill in Williamsford, Ontario which is approximately 180 km. northwest of downtown Toronto, Canada. We began bookselling in Toronto in 1977 with a small stock specializing in Canadiana and now have a large general stock of approximately 80,000 books in over 100 categories. Some of these categories are Art, Gardening, Military History, Nature, Science Fiction, Canadiana, Royalty, Modern First Editions, Ships and the Sea, Antiques and Collectibles, and much more. We purchased the old mill in Williamsford, just south of Owen Sound on Hw. 6 and have recently opened as a bookstore/cafe with homemade breakfasts, quality coffees and teas, decadent desserts, and much more. Please email us if you would like to be on our mailing list for special events and promotions. We look forward to seeing you at the Mill.
