Bookmark

I've pretty much only purchased cookbooks here (of which there are a good selection). Staff are very friendly, and from what I can see, there are a lot of non-cooking books as well.

Love this independent bookstore! I have purchased many books here and they have plenty of the big titles as well as some unique finds. They also have a fabulous selection of notebooks, stationery, and literary-themed gifts. I have ordered books online from them when I wanted to reserve something specific or when the title I wanted wasn’t in stock, and it was usually quick and easy. Great place to shop in the heart of downtown.

Love the selections at this bookstore. Found the best puzzle advent calendar here, along with so many books that were on my reading list. Great selection of games, pens, stickers, cards, etc. I am never disappointed when I visit... and never walk out empty handed.

Wonderful local bookshop where you can find books, games, puzzles, stationeries, notebooks, calendars, mugs, socks, and a variety of fun products. If you’re looking for a gift for someone, this is the perfect place to visit as there are likely something for everyone here. They are constantly bringing in new inventory so it is always exciting to drop in and see what’s new. The aisles are a bit narrow so accessibility may be a bit limited.

I have been coming here for years. The staff and owners are incredible hard working brilliant and funny. If they don't have it on the shelf or in their online database to order.. the book likely doesn't exist or is long our of print. This was the first shop in the 90s to have an LGBTQ shelf. They have puzzles, fancy pens and diaries, all sorts of puzzle books and calendars too and one of the largest local books and authors collection of any store in town. When I move to Halifax in 1994 there was Bookmark, Smiths. Entitlement, Frog Hollow , Trident Woozles , Carrefour and a number of 2nd hand and university bookstores bur the big three were Bookmark, Entitlement and Frog Hollow. They all offered something different and unique and you could see all three as they were all on the South Park end of Spring Garden.It is a real miracle and a real blessing that we still have independent bookstores like The Bookmark in our city still. Independent and local . We have lost so much in the city to this digital world, very sad really so I am very happy Bookmark has survived. I thank them for all they have done for us and the city. I hope and pray that they are here for generations to come.

Love love love this place! They always have the best selection of books from local authors and the cutest gifts

Flawless. Better stocked on quality books than the Public Library, passionate, well-read staff, and their prices are often better than Amazon - all in a 1,200sq ft. shop on Spring Garden. If you're not sure what to read or where to start, take any random book off the shelves - you'll like it.

Nice local bookstore, been going here for a while for books and stationary. They have a great selection of those aesthetic puzzles that come in a cylinder-shaped box, and those puzzles are awesome.

Great little spot. If your looking for stationary or a journal, or creative envelope to send a letter, or of course a new book to read, they will order it for you if the don't have it!! Plus they have a points system! Kind of like Presidents Choice (with Superstore)! I've gotten free items more than once, because of past purchases I've made with the points I accumulated from each purchase. Now that's cool! Always stop in for a minute- but end up staying at least an hour....if not more!❤️❤️❤️

This is an adorable store with books, puzzles, and other little things. I really liked it. I bought a book and this tiny set of pencils. How cute is that?!
