Antiquarian Bookstore Tessi - a vintage brick-and-mortar store

We are located at the heart of Tapiola Garden City, in its old center, as a vintage brick-and-mortar antiquarian bookstore in the Mäntytorni apartment tower. This building was one of the very first ones to be built in Tapiola, and our shop was the first shop to open here. Books have been sold here since the spring of 1954, and this became an antiquarian bookstore in the 1970s.
