22.01.2022 "Sometimes I think my papa is an accordian. When he looks at me and smiles and breathes, I hear the notes." From "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak.

22.01.2022 This one resonates with me: "To pull the metal splinter from my palm my father recited a story in a low voice. I watched his lovely face and not the blade. Before the story ended, he'd removed the iron sliver I thought I'd die from." - "The Gift" by Li-Young Lee.

19.01.2022 Today's Father's Day post (no post tomorrow): "Why do men like me want sons?" he wondered. "It must be because they hope in their poor beaten souls that these new men, who are their blood, will do the things they were not strong enough nor wise enough nor brave enough to do. It is rather like another chance at life; like a new bag of coins at a table of luck after your fortune is gone." Cup of Gold by John Steinbeck.

17.01.2022 Arcade Books at 60 The Boulevarde Toronto will close at 5pm on Friday 2nd October and will re-open at 9am Tuesday 6th October. Tomorrow is your last chance to grab a book for the Long Weekend. Stay safe and well and have a pleasant weekend.

15.01.2022 Hi everyone, hope you are all well. I have just discovered that under the "click & collect" rule the second-hand bookshop is allowed to trade. I do not have my internet set up for this, however you can email or 'phone with an enquiry and if I have something you would like to purchase you can come to the door and collect. While you are unable to come in browse I can bring a selection to the door for you to choose from. Trading hours will be 10:30am to 2:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays until further notice. Covid 19 social distancing resstrictions still apply. Kindest regards, Karen.

13.01.2022 And here's today's post: ""A father acts on behalf of his children by working, providing, intervening, struggling, and suffering for them. In doing so, he really stands in their place. He is not an isolated individual, but incorporates the selves of several people in his own self." From the book, "Ethics" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

06.01.2022 Due to the recent announcement by the NSW Premier, Arcade Books will close at 4pm this afternoon and hopefully re-open at 9am on Friday 13th (Left Handers' Day) August.

05.01.2022 I have discovered that Arcade Books is allowed to be open for business. I have decided to keep the shop open until 3pm today and from 9am to midday tomorrow so you can get yourself some reading material for lockdown. The shop will be closed next week. Be safe and well. X K.

04.01.2022 "A father is that one friend upon whom we can always rely. In the hour of need, when all else fails, we remember him upon whose knees we sat when children, and who soothed our sorrows; and even though he may be unable to assist us, his mere presence serves to comfort and strengthen us." - "File No. 113" by Emile Gaboriau.

03.01.2022 ". . . alas, raising a young lady is a mystery even beyond an enchanter's skill." - "The Castle of Llyr" by Lloyd Alexander.

02.01.2022 Well the plan is to do the Father's Day quotes in the morning; At least I'm not a day behind yet. From "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco: "I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom."
