Шаблон:Short description Duthie Books was a chain of bookstores operating in Vancouver from 1957 to 2010.

History

Duthie Books was founded by Bill Duthie in 1957.[1] The first store opened on Robson Street near the public library.[2] The stores were run by his three children – Cathy, Celia, and David – following his death in 1984.

The shop had then expanded to locations on W. 10th Avenue, Seymour Street, Hastings Street, and the Arbutus Village by the time of Duthie's death.[3][2] A series of expansions through the 1990s led to a peak of ten shops[4] throughout the city, but also left the bookseller in poor financial condition.

The company declared bankruptcy in 1999. A single store remained open at 2239 West 4th Avenue, which closed in January 2010.[1][5][6][7]
