We have moved! Pardon the mess -- we still have boxes to unpack, and workers are putting the finishing touches on our accessible bathroom. But you can come in and browse! We'd love to see you!

Our new location at 262b Geary Ave won't be open yet for the Block Party on Saturday, Sep 20, but we'll be there, with a table and a selection of books. Swing by, say hello, and get a peek at the new space! #gearyblockparty

It's official: our Harbord Street location is now CLOSED permanently. But don't be too sad: we will reopen soon at 262B Geary Ave! And web orders will continue as normal while our storefront is closed.

We're happy to be able to make this compelling title available!

...and you should totally buy them at @anotherstoryto.bsky.social, @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social, @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social, or @cavershambooks.bsky.social.

If you see a lot of high-quality professional titles relating to their specific therapeutic modality, plus some interesting books on the social and ethical dimensions of therapy, it means they probably shop at Caversham and you're in good hands 😌

We're moving in September, and you know what that means: Sales! Our Rummage Sale, clearing out the books that have piled up in our basement over 36 years, is on now! Drop by and check it out!

Hey, have you heard our big news? After 36 years at our Harbord Street location, we'll be moving over the summer to a bright new space on up-and-coming Geary Avenue! We'll see you there in September!

Books have a much longer shelf life! 😀 And they're easier to ship. (We do free shipping anywhere in Canada for orders over $150.)

We love a good book recommendation thread! A reminder that if you're looking for a title we don't currently have in the store, we can order it for you, and we ship internationally. Our staff are great at tracking down hard-to-find books, as long as they're still in print somewhere.

The vetting process meant to protect therapy clients from unethical and boundary-crossing behavior might actually be shutting out the kind of practitioners the field needs most. @jessmcallen.bsky.social writes on “gatekeeping”:

Magnificent #bookstack assembled today by a customer visiting from Calgary. "Came for Taylor Swift, spent more on books!" 😁 Pro-tip for out-of-town visitors: our offer of free shipping on purchases over $150 applies in-store as well as online. So no worries about luggage limits!

This.

for anyone trying to extricate yourself from the clutches of Amazon: bookstores make more than a third of their money between now & New Year’s, & most bookstores ship nationwide 💌

Today we have brought books to the TICP registrants at UofT Innis Town Hall for a Day with Anthony Bass, Ph.D. (62 here and 56 online)

Gift shopping season is here, and we just received a shipment of delightfully ridiculous stocking stuffers for the analysts, analysands, and/or therapists on your list! The Pink Freud t-shirt is back in stock, as are the Freudian Slippers, both in a range of sizes!

We love dogs around here! We even keep liver treats behind the counter, as this regular visitor knows #dogsky

Another good reason to order from us and not That Big Website: we won't sell you a sketchy POD copy!

Now seems like a good time to mention that our Super Sale Cart is dairy and gluten free!

Don't be like Batman! Get started on one or both of our upcoming book club titles today! Details in next post! Even if you're too busy fighting crime to finish reading the book in time, you're always welcome to join the discussion, in person at 98 Harbord Street or via Zoom. #bookclub

Our "spooky season" window display is all about things that are ACTUALLY scary. Forget demons and zombies, what about: climate change? Messy divorces? The dark side of your own psyche? ::shudder::

Funny you should ask! This just came out in soft-shell and it looks really good

New in the store: Relatable content from @debbieohi.com !

An interesting and varied #bookstack purchased by a couple visiting Toronto this morning. Some work-related, some personal, some that they just thought looked interesting! #psychologybooks
