This is an example of an excellent book store. We are big collectors, and though we had less interest in the general selection, the rare books in the locked glass case were a delight to look at. The staff also didn't hound us or monitor us while we examined all the books and we took our time doing so (we inspect books quite meticulously). Once we selected the books, we returned to pay. A rare book set we recognized had just come out of a box and was being prepared to be priced. We inquired about it and even though it had not been put on the floor, it was offered to us on the spot and at an excellent price. We really appreciated that, that the staff were so friendly and accommodating, and also they gave us a nice tote for free to protect the box set. Will certainly stop in again on our next visit to this city.

I came in specifically to ask for recommendations on some very niche topics. The staff compiled a whole list of recommendations (some of which weren’t even sold in the store) with zero sales pressure.. Extremely cool and knowledgeable bunch of people. Plus, over a certain price you can get a discount or you can donate it to the Massy Arts fund. Massy is an Indigenous owned and operated bookstore—very important, and so thankful to have this gem in town.

Immaculately curated, and great service and approachable staff. I always walk out with a bit more than I planned on buying, and totally worth it because every staff recommendation is spot on. Stepping into Massy over the last two years has been a little bit of refuge from a crazy world.Also - with every purchase I am proud to support the 1st bookstore in B.C. to be a certified as a living wage employer!“Small bookstores have the romance of doomed intimate spaces about to be erased by unfettered capitalism.” (not if we have anything to say about it)

My favourite book store in the city. Phenomenal selection of fiction, poetry and indigenous lit as well as extensive reads on queer, gender and sexwork. With art and drama works upstairs that doubles as a gallery from time to time I can get lost in this store for endless hours.

A really neat place that has friendly and helpful staff, the atmosphere is great too as the space doesn't feel too cramped despite the tall bookshelves. In the back of the store there is a hidden room behind a bookshelf that sometimes might not be obvious. The small notes on books from the staff introducing their favourite books is really interesting and worth checking out. They have comics and other hard to find books too!

Really good selection of books if you're into socioeconomic issues. It also has a good selection of local authors, authors of colour, indigenous authors, and topics of all kinds. Just overall amazing selection and atmosphere and wonderful staff.

I love this little treasure hidden in Chinatown. Great team and a great selection of books I thought I never get my hands on. Love the little reading room hidden behind the bookshelf. Go and check it out. A little world on its own in a world of magical books.

Massy books is a great space, and the staff are friendly and professional. I appreciate the large selection of books about Indigenous people, places and histories, it’s a very community-focused store, and I feel safe shopping there. The preorder process is easy, and I appreciate how it currently includes the option to make donations. Very grateful for Massy Books!

Great bookstore, tons of options and the prices were completely reasonable, actually got lots of deals! Loved seeing so many local authors books available here. Highly recommend skipping the trip to Indigo or Amazon and checking this place out!

I visited Massy Books with a friend recently. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by two very friendly employees, one of which complimented my makeup, which made my day. I am very impressed with this bookstore as it has many sections promoting authors that don’t get as much recognition as they deserve, such as Indigenous authors. The bookstore interior is very tidy and organized. There is even a secret room hidden behind a bookshelf, which was quite a surprise :) Overall, would reccomend!
