Great Books at the Mill is located in the historic mill in Williamsford, Ontario which is approximately 180 km. northwest of downtown Toronto, Canada.

We began bookselling in Toronto in 1977 with a small stock specializing in Canadiana and now have a large general stock of approximately 70,000 volumes in over 100 categories. Some of these categories are Art, Gardening, Military History, Nature, Science Fiction, Canadiana, Royalty, Modern First Editions, Ships and the Sea, Antiques and Collectibles, and much more.

We purchased the old mill in Williamsford, just south of Owen Sound on Hwy 6 in March /06 and opened in July 2010 after a 4 1/2 year renovation. We are a bookstore/cafe with homemade breakfasts, quality coffee and tea, decadent desserts, and much more.

Please email us ( info@greatbooks.ca ) if you would like to be on our mailing list so that you will be among the first to know about special events at the mill.

We look forward to seeing you at the Mill!
