The Monkey's Paw is an independent used bookstore in Toronto, Ontario, Canada known for its eclectic, arcane, and absurd books, and for the Biblio-Mat, a random book vending machine.[1]
Owner Stephen Fowler founded The Monkey's Paw in 2006, four years after he moved to Toronto from
medium.[4][3] Due to the notoriety and uniqueness of the bookstore, Fowler was invited to join the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.[4]
The New York Times Style Magazine quoted the owner, "It's the store where you'll find the book you didn't know you were looking for."[5]
