The Edmonton Book Store

This store is one of the, if not the, best used bookstore in the city of Edmonton and surrounding areas. The store itself is a maze of amazing books around every twist and turn, there are two floors (the basement being much smaller but just as packed full with books. You can find all sorts of rare, interesting, and unique books in this store. I went in for a quick browse and I ended up spending over an hour just browsing before I even began thinking about narrowing down my choices to buy something! I ended up walking out with a book, and as I was checking out I got to chatting with the store worker. According to him, within the store there are over 90,000 books! I believe it but my gosh you could be in this store all day and never read the same title twice. Definitely a great place to check out if you are looking for your next new to you" book! This store is an amazing addition to the city of Edmonton

I've been dealing with this store for years, and it's the best used bookstore I've ever found, with the best selection of non-fiction books I've ever seen. Simon, the store manager knows more about books than anyone I know and always brightens up the store with his charming and friendly personality. You can tell he loves his job!

Incredible bookstore with a vast selection. The owner was so kind and very knowledgeable. This bookstore is definitely my cup of tea. ;)

I ordered a used hard cover book through Amazon, but purchased it from the Edmonton Bookstore as I wanted to support a smaller, independent business. The book was shipped the same day I placed the order. It arrived quickly and was very carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport. Although it’s a used book, it looks like new and is in excellent condition. Overall, very happy with my experience – thanks!

I was looking for a historic book, so I checked their website and confirmed that they had a copy. I live close enough that I just drove in and asked the person at the counter. They walked right to the book and handed it to me. I was overjoyed! What incredible service. We’re so lucky to have this bookstore in Edmonton!

TL;DR If you want good value second hand books, they have it; if you want rare collectables, they have it; if you just wanna browse, you're welcome here; if you just wanna talk books, they'll love it.I love this place. The atmosohere screams book lovers. The staff are all super informative and welcoming. My first visit I had an awesome hour long chat with a gentleman about WW1 poetry. He was super knowledgable, and just wanted to chat!They have two floors crammed full of books.

I buy most of my books here. Have so for a very long time. Everything is well kept and staff are always very friendly. Five stars all the way!!!

The owner was super helpful, they didn't have what I was looking for but suggested several other places in the city and even a website for used books.
