• OLD & UNUSUAL
  • BOOKS & SALVAGE CULTURE

The Monkey’s Paw stocks a diverse variety of 20th-century printed matter, with special emphasis on visual culture; obsolete opinions and technologies; earnest works on highly specific topics; books as artifacts; and pop detritus. Here you’ll find the book you didn’t know you were looking for.

The shop is also home to the Biblio-Mat, the world’s first randomizing vending machine for old books.
