Page & Binding was opened in 2012 by Clara Whitfield, a former high school English teacher who spent twenty years watching students fall in love with books -- and who believed every neighborhood deserves a great bookshop of its own.
What started as a 600-square-foot storefront on Hawthorne Avenue with three bookshelves and a dream has grown into a 3,000-square-foot literary haven. We have expanded twice, added a coffee bar, and built a community of readers who feel more like family than customers.
Our philosophy is simple: we read everything we sell. Every title on our shelves has been personally recommended by a member of our staff. We don't carry books because an algorithm told us to. We carry books because we stayed up too late reading them and couldn't wait to put them in someone else's hands.
