Wayfarer is a used bookstore in downtown Kingston, Ontario. Wayfarer is a neat little place that still embodies the small-town feel that Kingston is gradually losing. Walter, the proprietor, is a truly unique man. He knows an insane amount about every book in the store, and most books are in fact inscribed by him with some interesting information. Kingston used to have a ton of used bookstores, but Walter will quickly tell you that the internet has wrought havoc on the industry.
Today I bought a copy of "True Grit" by Charles Portis, and "Gods, Graves and Scholars: The Story of Archaeology" by C.W. Ceram. Total cost: $10.00. The below video really captures the charm of the place.
