"Calling all lovers of musty, dog-eared, yellow-paged books: a new independent shop for secondhand tomes opened last week in Muswell Hill, north London. In a useful repurposing of a high-street space, it occupies the site of an old funeral parlour - but you'll be thankful to know it stocks more than just horror. The shop, which is on Fortis Green Road, opened on September 6 and is run by husband-and-wife duo Chris and Katrina Masson."
"Chris, who is from Muswell Hill, is no newbie to selling used books. At various times he worked at both branches of Black Gull Books, a duo of bookshops in Camden and East Finchley known for eclectic selections of rare and used editions. Both outposts of Black Gull are now closed, with some of the East Finchley branch's stock going to Boom Cat in Camden - which has also now shuttered."
Muswell Hill Books & Parlour opened on September 6 on Fortis Green Road in Muswell Hill, north London. The shop occupies the former Cooksey and Son Funeral Parlour on a high-street site. Chris and Katrina Masson run the shop together and sell pre-loved books, art and records. The stock spans classics, philosophy, photography, science, occult, spiritual and antiquarian titles, including rare and interesting editions. The shop can host literary events and private parties. Chris previously worked at both branches of Black Gull Books in Camden and East Finchley, and some East Finchley stock moved to Boom Cat in Camden before closures.
