About us

Welcome to Booksville Avenue Vintage Book Store! We are two sisters from Oakville, Ontario, who share a deep love for vintage books and the timeless stories they hold. Our journey into the world of vintage books began with a heartfelt mission: as mothers, we were searching for cherished books from our own childhoods to fill our children’s libraries. What started as a personal quest to share the magic of these stories with our little ones quickly became a passion to bring these treasures to others.

Along the way, we uncovered an array of unique finds—rare editions, out-of-print tales, and forgotten classics—all brimming with history and charm. Each book carried a sense of nostalgia and wonder, connecting us to our past and sparking the imagination of our children. Inspired by this shared love for storytelling, we created Booksville Avenue as a way to share these special pieces with readers everywhere.

Our online store offers a carefully curated collection of vintage books, each chosen with thought and care. We believe that every book has a story beyond the one written within its pages, from the worn cover edges to the notes left by previous readers. Our collection spans a range of genres, including classic literature, mystery, art, and—especially close to our hearts—vintage children’s books. These stories are more than mere words on a page; they represent the warmth of tradition, the joy of discovery, and the beauty of something timeless.

For us, Booksville Avenue Vintage Book Store is more than a business—it’s a labor of love, a space where we can share the stories that shaped our own childhoods and introduce them to new generations. We believe that vintage books offer a unique sense of wonder and connection that can’t be found in the digital world, and it’s our joy to help families and readers rediscover that magic.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. We hope that through our collection, you’ll find a piece of history to cherish and share with those you love.
