The Paperhound is an independent bookstore in Vancouver run by Kim Koch and Rod Clarke. It sells mostly used and rare books, but also some new and notable books. A recent episode of the podcast The Book Club Review was an interview with Kim that was fascinating. It is all about the world of used and rare books, with many book recommendations. Recommended. Find it on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
