This is a small store that is a BIG fire hazard. I have really serious concerns about the height of stacks here as well as the way things are “maintained”. I knocked over two piles of books just lying on the ground in here. Barely enough room to turn around with a coat on. We did find a few things we liked but truly this place is a fire waiting to happen

Blown away by the huge selection of books here and great service! I could easily spend hours in here

Fabulous used book store. Comfortable environment for browsing. Wide selection across many genres - I always find something here!

I had been dying for some Somerset Maugham and went in here as a desperate last gasp mission of a day spent taking in the Maritime Museum. I walked in the door, and there, on the shelf on the right hand side of the door frame, was a decent row of hardcover Maughams, coming in at a lean, mean $10.95 CAD. My prayers had been answered!

This is a real bookstore. A lot of used books crammed into shelves, narrow aisles, and hardcore enthusiasts picking through to their hearts' content.

Lovely book store, with a wide selection and fair prices. The owner seems very friendly too. I always spend 20-30 minutes browsing around and I never leave empty-handed.

Holy cow, what a fantastic neighborhood book shop. Strong science fiction offering, with numerous hardbacks stacked on the top shelves. Be careful when sliding out the hardbacks! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fair prices.

I don't get out to this store near enough but when I do I never walk away empty-handed. I especially love the narrow aisles with books on either side. Definitely not a place you want to just "pop in for a second".

Awesome aesthetic - update though, please remove transphobic book “Irreversible Damage” from front window.

I called to inquire about a book and they got back to me very quickly and were very lovely!
