About the Business
In 1976, Marvin Post opened his shop at 428 Richmond St., London, Ontario, on the third floor. His little bookstore fulfilled a personal dream, to be his own boss and indulge his love of beautiful books. One year later, Marvin moved his shop to 388 Clarence St, a few blocks away. Attic Books became a regular stop for downtown shoppers. However, in 1987, the Galleria Mall was about to be built so, he packed up his shop and moved out to Parkhill, Ontario, where many of his regular customers drove out to see him.
In 1996, the Mayor of London persuaded Marvin to reconsider downtown, so he purchased the property at 240 Dundas St. and moved the business back. Attic Books had found its new home. The basement was opened up a few years later for discount books, and later the second floor opened as our stock expanded again.
Today, Attic Books is one of the largest second hand booksellers in the country all thanks to you, our favourite bibliophiles.
Established in 1976.
