Pulp Books: Montreal’s new English bookstore, and the passion that built a neighbourhood spot

“We’re bringing something new to the neighbourhood. Verdun already has a few bookstores, but none of them specialize in English books, so we saw there was a gap there that needed filling,” Alex Nierenhausen says over the phone.

“And who doesn’t love to sit with a coffee, enjoy their book, and talk with a bookseller?” adds Daphnée Anctil.

“I love a space that offers that. There aren’t many in Montreal. It’s just the best way to enjoy a book.”

Under construction since the summer and officially opening its doors on December 9 this year, Alex and Daphnée are behind Verdun’s Pulp Books.
