Munro's Books

When I took yesterday's photo of busker SlideManBlues I was walking towards one of Canada's most beautiful bookstores, Munro's Books on Government Street. The building was originally erected as a branch of the Royal Bank of Canada in 1909. It has been splendidly restored and occupied by Munro's Books since 1975. Below is a shot of the interior. Canada's Nobel Laureate in Literature, Alice Munro, was once married to former owner Jim Munro.

    Munro's is a really nice place...good to see it's still going strong, the way bookstores are closing.
