The literary concierge
A curated reading programme for hotels, resorts, spas, and B&Bs in the Blue Mountain region — with expert curation, partner pricing, and free same-day delivery in Collingwood.
How it worksYour guests came here to slow down.
Give them a reason to stay longer.
The literary concierge turns Nottawa Cottage Bookstore into your property's personal bookshop. We curate seasonal reading menus tailored to your guests, deliver books to your door the same day, and handle everything — so your team can offer a thoughtful amenity without any operational burden.
Expert curation
Every recommendation is hand-selected by our team based on your guests' preferences, the season, and your property's character.
Partner pricing
Hospitality partners receive preferred wholesale pricing on all titles. Offer books as a complimentary amenity, or resell at retail and keep the margin.
Free same-day delivery
Orders placed before 2 PM are delivered the same day. Next-day for everything else. Free within Collingwood and the Blue Mountain area.
