BMV Books

Great selection of books and comic and helpful staff.Love the kids section , brought few Harry Potter paraphernalia as gifts for friends.

I love this place, wandering through the aisles, picking from a wide assortment of books. Jazz playing in the air, getting lost in the day.I've been revisiting this haunt for decades and it's my preferred choice compared to the alternative, the big box behemoths.Nothing against them at all. But there is something about supporting the (rel) little guy. The experience here is far more personal (for me). Something about navigating the smaller aisles.Service is great. I've never had a problem. Selection is quite good. Of course they do not have the shelf space and you can't get it all here, but when I can, I do.

Went to sell some books I had acquired throughout the years. I didn’t expect much, and had read online they donate the books they won’t pay for anyway so I figured I’d give it a shot. Unfortunately I was mistaken, and they do not donate any books and instead have an incredibly harsh vetting process.I was greeted by a male staff member who began going through my books. He was condescending and judged each book painstakingly and loudly in front of other customers, even holding up the line in two occasions (also forcing them to to listen to the spectacle he was creating).The books were in fair condition but some had water damage, but instead of tactfully refusing the books, the employee made comments such as “this is basically a biohazard” and “we need Dostoyevsky so badly, and we’ve taken some pretty bad stuff, but not -this- bad.” The books were not “biohazards” and he even went to far as to say one was wet when that was not possible.After minutes of the public judgement of my allegedly horrifying books, I asked if we could continue the process in private due to the judgements. It was humiliating. I don’t care that he didn’t take the books, it was the tactless and condescending tone the employee used and the fact it was all done in front of multiple customers.I usually really enjoy this store, but the customer service was shocking and made a simple attempt to sell some books a publicly humiliating spectacle. I see in a few other reviews mentions of a rude male employee and I would suspect this is an ongoing issue in this location. What a shame.

My favourite bookstore! They have a large collection. Love selling my old books for cash and buying more. There’s many secondhand books that are for sale for lower prices, usually $10. The more popular secondhand books are more though and the prices vary, usually $20+.

Really feels like it's a part of the Yonge and Eglinton community. The staff is always incredibly kind and occasionally gives discounts, there's a great selection of books for a better price than the Indigo across the street, and generally has a really great vibe to the store. If you like reading, I'd recommend going here first before going to a big chain, 9 times out of 10 they have the book you're looking for and you get to support something more local!

Amazing prices and huge selection of books! The books cycle through often, so it makes book hunting a treat every time you come. The kids section is second to none in both prices and variety. Always check here before you go to indigo across the street. There’s also a really cool “rare” section here that you can find collectors books. I particularly like the Canadian author section in the back right corner.

Great little book store; I’ve been shopping here for years. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a great selection and variety of books. They have great deals and discounts, I would highly recommend them to family and friends.
