The Edmonton Book Store

Many books on site, helpful owner. Most categories of books except for fiction. Good selection of Canadian, Alberta, and military history. Clean and organized.

Managed to get half of my wish list taken care of right here! Very helpful owner, and a wonderful selection of books.

What a great opportunity to fill all the bookshelves that I have to buy for the books I bought and the even more I hope to

Absolutely fantastic book store! Huge selection of every genre and the people working there are amazing and hilarious. The history and science sections are my favorite and they have one the largest selections I have seen for a used bookstore. I believe the gentleman said over 90,000 books in store.

This bookstore is the best for odd books you can't find anywhere else- the staff are so helpful and nice

It had the mesmerising smell of old books, and a bigger selection than you could ever imagine.
The staff member that was working was a wonderful Englishman and was so kind and informative, it was an absolute pleasure to visit the shop.

I buy most of my books here. Have so for a very long time. Everything is well kept and staff are always very friendly. Five stars all the way!

This store is one of the, if not the, best used bookstore in the city of Edmonton and surrounding areas. The store itself is a maze of amazing books around every twist and turn, there are two floors (the basement being much smaller but just as packed full with books. You can find all sorts of rare, interesting, and unique books in this store. I went in for a quick browse and I ended up spending over an hour just browsing before I even began thinking about narrowing down my choices to buy something! I ended up walking out with a book, and as I was checking out I got to chatting with the store worker. According to him, within the store there are over 90,000 books! I believe it but my gosh you could be in this store all day and never read the same title twice. Definitely a great place to check out if you are looking for your next "new to you" book! This store is an amazing addition to the city of Edmonton, and I hope it remains one for years to come.

I've been dealing with this store for years, and it's the best used bookstore I've ever found, with the best selection of non-fiction books I've ever seen. Simon, the store manager knows more about books than anyone I know and always brightens up the store with his charming and friendly personality. You can tell he loves his job!

The owner was super helpful, they didn't have what I was looking for but suggested several other places in the city and even a website for used books.

Always a pleasure to visit the Edmonton Book Store - extensive collection, reasonable pricing, passionate staff.

Incredible bookstore with a vast selection. The owner was so kind and very knowledgeable. This bookstore is definitely my cup of tea. ;)

Great bookstore with helpful and knowledgeable staff. There is truly treasure on these shelves.

I ordered a used hard cover book through Amazon, but purchased it from the Edmonton Bookstore as I wanted to support a smaller, independent business. The book was shipped the same day I placed the order. It arrived quickly and was very carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport. Although it’s a used book, it looks like new and is in excellent condition. Overall, very happy with my experience – thanks!

I was on the hunt for a book my cousin needed. I called on a Sunday with limited details, and the woman I spoke with was so helpful and found it for me. When I came by to pick the book up, the fellow was very kind and helped me find details in the book about some family. These folks love what they do.

I was looking for a historic book, so I checked their website and confirmed that they had a copy. I live close enough that I just drove in and asked the person at the counter. They walked right to the book and handed it to me. I was overjoyed! What incredible service. We’re so lucky to have this bookstore in Edmonton!
