Founded in 1977, The Odd Book provides second hand and rare books to satisfy a variety of tastes. Travellers and Wolfville residents shop here for mysteries, westerns, science fiction and other light reading at affordable prices. Quality academic non-fiction is another of the store’s strengths. There are always plenty of new titles, with local readers and Acadia University’s students and professors stopping in to buy and sell. Wolfville is a bookish town with more than 40 per cent of its adult population holding post-secondary degrees.
As well as being a university town, Wolfville is situated in the centre of a settled rural community. This larger community’s tastes are reflected in the store’s many titles on practical topics, from beekeeping to boat building. Through a wide range of local contacts, the store is regularly supplied with antiquarian books and ephemera related to the history and literature of Atlantic Canada.

We have been in the book business since 1978 as The Book Pedlar, Ltd. At that time, we issued catalogues and sold books through the mail. Unfortunately, after several years of catalogues, we found that the time involved in producing attractive catalogues and the ever-increasing postal costs involved in large mailings made this a less than perfect way to sell books.
We put the book selling portion of the business on hold, devoted ourselves to academic careers in English literature and fisheries economics, but continued to acquire collections in anticipation of opening a bookstore. In the process, we accumulated about 60,000 books.
