Hood, Dora The Side Door. Twenty-six Years in My Book Room.
Toronto: Ryerson, 1958. First edition (238 pp.) in pictorial dust wrapper, brown cloth, gilt titles to spine. Until her retirement in 1954, Dora Hood was the proprietor of the famous Book Room, a business enterprise she began some time after the early death of her husband. Her shop specialized in Canadiana (the first book she mentions is Our Forest Home by Frances Stewart) although, as she notes, when she set out she knew little of the country’s literary culture and had not so much as attended university. None of which is to say she did not learn quickly and cultivated a wide acquaintanceship among scholars and collectors. A charming book reflective of earlier times in the book trade. A fine copy.
