A Literary Harbor for the Arts, since founded in 1980 by Canio Pavone.
The bookshop features new, used and collectible books and is well known as a literary gathering place. An entire wall devoted to poetry comprises one of the largest collections on Long Island. Specialties include literary fiction and non-fiction, art, and photography. Shelves are bursting with a fine selection of children´s books, nature titles, food books, spirituality, literary biography and memoir, and environmental interest. Since October 1999, Maryann Calendrille and Kathryn Szoka have continued Canio´s tradition of hosting a wide range of authors, and featuring exceptional local artwork. Thank you for supporting us on-line; and please stop in for a visit to Canio's, "a real book store," real soon.
