The Monkey's Paw

Sells old books, it is an interesting place to visit. Try the bibliomat, for $5.00 it is worth some fun

Really enjoyed the rare book vending machine. A must stop in Toronto for those who enjoy vintage and rare bookstores

Super cool spot! There’s a varied and fun collection of books, ranging from arts & design to sexology and the occult.

My partner and I walked away with a small handful of design, nature and photography books.

You also can’t pass up the, hilariously aggressive dispensing, book vending machine.

Such a cozy and cool feel. It smells amazing and classic inside. They even have a surprise book vending machine that you pay $5 for a token and you receive a unique and whimsical book. Very happy we stopped by on our trip.

The best possible used bookstore… strange old unexpected books and of course, you can always try your luck with the vending machine. If old and unusual is your thing, this is the place.

Absolutely loved this store. Found some really amazing books and the Biblo-mat is such a fun and cool idea. Will hopefully be back soon!

This store is great, and Clara is the best! She helped me navigate the collection and gave me some great recommendations. Ended up leaving with books and a bunch of knowledge on befriending crows (that's secret). I also recommend the Biblio-tec machine which is so unique and fun! Thanks Clara and Monkeys Paw!

Super cool old book shop with some very interesting items and a surprise book dispenser. Worth a visit.

Pretty cool shop, the vending machine is the highlight. The selection is alright but was nothing better than other vintage stores I've been to.

Interesting collection of old books and paper materials. Visit the Bibliomat in the back (tokens $5 each) for a mystery vintage book!

Love this place! Went with my mother as she was looking for some books and found exactly what she was looking for! Great vintage book store and so reasonably priced. Love the vending machine, such a great touch.

Very cool place to stop by for all sorts of books. The book vending machine blew my mind. The cashier person was very friendly and told us the history of the vending machine.

The place is wonderful. A real goldmine of genuine vintage books. Would definitely go here again when next in Toronto.

Okay selection, highly curated. The proprietor was generally helpful. We didn't quite find anything here for us though, as the collection on subjects of interest to us was exceptional light. Prices were average for many things and high for others.

I will come back, really cool collection of books. Specially for me their vintage camping books are amazing. Also they have a surprise vending machine for books which you could get a book for $2. Really fun idea. Smell of old books is all around the shop. Takes me to my childhood and grandmas place. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about every single book in the shop.

A picturesque shop, but way overpriced. For example, one of those cute little Dover math books might cost $20 or more here, but would only cost $10 at any other used bookstore. They have a small bookshelf with some French books, but these are priced like collector’s items rather than as material that someone might actually want to read.
