My girlfriend and I stop at this bookstore anytime we have the chance because she is an avid reader and I am a philosophy student. We always find something interesting to take home and the same gentleman at the counter is always happy to help us find what we need. I even found niche philosophy books in french that were very affordable. I love this quirky goldmine of never ending books!

A new favourite !! This used bookstore has a HUGE selection of classics among other genres, you would be certain to find what you’re looking for. The staff was also remarkably friendly and agreeable, offering me their help and thoughts (which I thoroughly enjoyed) regarding my selection of books. I only wish I had discovered this bookstore sooner… I will certainly be back whenever I’m in Ottawa again !
Limited selection but everything else was spot on.
They have a good selection of books, magazines, cards and other things likes games and other interesting things. Good service too!
A smaller bookstore with a good selection. Aisles are a bit crowded. Staff was very personable and helpful.
Went there to buy heartstopper, even got helpfully directed to where it was, ended up getting bloom because it caught my eye, also started plum points here

Great used book store with an impressive assortment of classics and philosophy. The owner is very helpful if you’re looking for something specific. Would highly recommend stopping here before buying new books.
Staff are rude and don't acknowledge their customers. they seem to lack most of the neat things they usually have for gifts. Wouldn't recommend this location
Remember, during the panicdema, they, along with their parent stores, discriminated against the handicapped. Boycotted the place ever since.
I love this place! A lot of options for a smaller bookstore. The staff are all very friendly, and there is a little old man that just made my day the last time I was there. A very pleasant place to visit, we will be back!

Nice lil bookstore. Like all second-hand bookstores, you definitely have to spend a bit of time browsing to find what you’re looking for. Tons of books and the owner was really nice. I found the prices a bit more expensive than other used-bookstores but still not bad
A small store with a big welcome. with associates who are friendly and helpful. The store carries alm the best seller fiction books. Easy store to get in and out of with parking directly behind it.

Great little hole-in-the-wall used bookstore, provided you don't mind playing Jenga as the stacks begin to topple. Run by a super nice guy, which adds to the experience.

Nice little quaint bookstore. The books are stacked very high and the variety is massive. Take some time to browse as there are some gems.

Pricing is decent; you can find some popular titles a few dollars off retail price. They have mostly soft cover in stock.

Customer service is great as the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful.
