By The Lake Books

Fell in love with this bookstore when I walked in. Incredible. Nicest staff on the planet. Quality shop.

Sadly, this book store does not actually buy used books (unless you walk in with a mint condition first edition of The Great Gatsby I suppose). How silly of me to think a used book store would be interested in buying…. Wait for it…used books! Yes, the store sells used books and is interested in customers actually paying them money for used books, but alas walking in with used books for sale to them is not an option. A simple message on their severely outdated website such as: “We do NOT buy books, but rather only offer store credit”, would have prevented my from driving out of my way to go here. I guess the demand for used books, and books in general, have really tanked in the GTA. It’s too bad. I would have provided this store with a lot more valuable books in the future. Now I will never go back.

Amazing bookstore with great prices and super friendly service. If yiu can't find what you're looking for here you won't find it anywhere else.

Wonderful selection of books; just beware the aisles are very skinny but the workers know their items very well and can get anything you’re looking for for you!

Wonderful selection of books and amazing customer service!

I will be back again soon!

This is a great used book store. The owner is lovely and very helpful. The decor is interesting and there are sooooo many books! I need to get back there when the weather clears.

My favorite bookstore. It's great to come by not knowing what you're looking for. Have a talk with the very friendly owner and she'll point you to something new every time.
Amazingly modest prices too.
