I called from Sweden to order books as my browser was not cooperating with the website, and a lovely Ryan very kindly helped put the order through. Excellent alternative to the behemoth Amazon, and I am looking forward to our next order for more upcoming birthdays! Thank you Ryan & Owl’s Nest Books!

Little shop tucked away into a small mall just off the bus route #3 is a must go.The staff are friendly and helpful, super knowledgeable and experienced as well.There was no big noise or rush like big book stores and here you find hidden gems that get missed or aren't popular enough for places like Indigo and Chapters.They had a good variety and plenty of different options from kids, to teen fiction, mystery adult fiction and even a Queer/LGBTQ+ area.It's like stepping back into the library of the past where it's quiet, without the electronic hum that permeates and makes you comfortable and safe. It's affordable as well, with both hardcover and paperback options. 4 books (1 hardcover) and 2 bookmarks was around 20$ a piece

Your perfect go-to bookstore. The options are practically unlimited, and the staff is super helpful in finding you the right book. Definitely do not pass this place up!

One of the last independent bookstores in the city. Please, make the effort to go buy from here. You will get excellent service from people who love what they do. They can get the same thing for the same price as Amazon and you are helping a local shop.

This is an adorable little bookshop. It holds a ton of great books, mostly new and has some great deals and sales. One thing I love is they group books that are part of a series together and sort them in order. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the 3rd book in a series alone in a store with none of the ones that came before it! Staff is also extremely nice and friendly. Highly recommend!

Cozy little bookshop in the heart of Brittania. First time going for a friend's book signing. They have almost any book you could ever want and I'm sure if they don't they can find it for you. They've also currated an eclectic collection of owl figurines to adorn their front desk. I would love to attend more book signings and readings there and will definitely return to browse their selection.

This wonderful little bookstore was a great find during my stay in Calgary. Very friendly, helpful and competent staff. I was given great advice and would have liked to have taken all the books that were recommended to me. If I ever travel to Calgary again: This is a must!

I ordered a signed copy of James Fell's On This Day In History Sh!t Went Down" from Owl's Nest back in August. They emailed me with the shipping charges very quickly and kept me informed of the purchase and shipping process. Everything went smoothly
