A few people have asked where the name Maple & Page comes from.
โMapleโ for the place Iโm building this in, and โPageโ for the books that move through it.
Simple, but it feels right for a Canadian usedโbook space taking shape.

With talk of 100% tariffs making headlines, Maple & Page is more committed than ever to being a "Tariff-Free Zone" for Canadian book lovers. ๐จ๐ฆ๐
Weโre building our stock so you can find used & rescued books right here at homeโno import fees, no border taxes.

Spent the morning on the Maple & Page business plan, now switching gears back to Chapter Two of the dissertation. โ๏ธ๐
Itโs a juggle, but seeing Maple & Page take shape alongside my research makes the late nights worth it.

One thing Iโm noticing while sourcing for Maple & Page: Canadian art books are more than just "coffee table books."
They are vital records of our visual history that often go out of print too fast. One of my goals in starting this company is to give books a longer life.

A small stack of books that are academic books and graphic novels. Behind the book there is monitor with the cover of an issue Triumph Comics visible.
Grateful for the warm welcome to #BookSky! ๐ซถ
Back in PhD mode today as the dissertation is in progress. Here are a few physical books (of the many PDFs!) that Iโm working with right now. ๐๐จ๐ฆ

We see independent bookstores as essential partners in Canadaโs book ecosystemโnot competitors. Weโre here to support the cycle. โค๏ธ๐

[4/4]
Maple & Page is a Canadianโonly online marketplace for used and rescued books, built on accessibility and transparency.
Every rescue is handโevaluated using a universal condition table. We're sourcing our first 1,000 books โ from art to everyday reads โ in preparation for our launch.
[3/4]
In Canada, we often choose between expensive new books or used copies shipped from the U.S. with high shipping, brokerage fees, import taxes, and tariff uncertainty.
Meanwhile, countless stories sit forgotten or discarded long before their time. Every book deserve a new chapter. ๐

Two stacks of books the range from academic to entertainment.
Hello #Booksky ๐
Iโm launching Maple & Page, born from a stack of overdue library books and frustration with the Canadian book market. ๐จ๐ฆ
As an Art History PhD, I realised if I canโt easily access the building blocks of our visual culture, something isnโt working.
