Great selection and reasonable prices. The service was great. They have something for every reader of any age.
Such a huge and varied selection, it would take me hours to go through everything. And the friendliest, most helpful owner you could ever hope to encounter.

I love getting my books here, the staff is always friendly and it has a great vibe. Been going here for a while and I highly recommend it!
Super kind owner, wonderful selection, nicely organized
Crazy prices for used books. The MSRP is cut out or sharpied over. But hey I guess if people are willing to pay those prices. But it just felt like the store was trying to pull a fast one on me.

The store is a knowledge filled place. They are literate people who make shopping a joy. You are my favorite go place. See you at the book launch at the university this evening. I am hoping that in the next few years, my book launch will have your approval and be the location of introducing my book. Thank you for your great work and support of the literary community.

Love ordering from Moncton and having em deliver to Chtown… so convenient
Absolute best service and experience that I've received from any card shop. Can't recommend this place enough! Pleasant staff and reliable on pre orders for products typically hard to get. This store is the reason why my collection is so strong haha

I like the store and staff are helpful and friendly but they never seem to have the books I am looking for, yes they can order them but so can I on Amazon. Dont like that they took the search computers out I found them very useful
Great options for anyone looking for a present for the book lover in their life!

This place has it all - books, stationery, cute decor, and even a DIY gift-wrapping section. The vibes here are great, and I had fun wrapping my own gifts.

Good place in town to shop for books. Not always a huge selection but you can order online and the restock frequently.

I visited while on vacation to just browse a bit and was so glad I stopped in.
They have a great selection of stationary as well as books and the staff were super friendly too!
Highly recommend for book lovers!
This was a tough one to review. For a store of its space it has great selection - even found a game never knew existed (we have a lot of games). The prices though were very high and restricted us from purchasing exactly what we wanted. When traveling through on vacation we were hoping to pick up a couple of games for rainy days but instead chose to go elsewhere because of it.

This place is incredible. Two separate strangers gave us money out of NOWHERE to help us pay for a huge game. The sense of community is palpable. Jacob is the nicest man on earth. We WILL be returning!!!!!!

Went in not expecting a bunch, we don't really have a comparible store in Ontario.

I can say I was very impressed. A wide book selection, and an even more impressive stationary selection. Prices were fair, and they had a huge selection of fountain pen ink, converters, etc.

My only complaint is it was hard to get prices of stuff without asking about a specific product, and a lot of the stuff was further away so it was hard to see what they had. I imagine if you are a local you have a good idea of what they stock but as a tourist it felt a bit awkward. no big deal.

Would highly recommend!
The staff is really friendly and the atmosphere, in general, is fairly relaxed. Prices have always been quite reasonable.

I have placed orders for TCG products, hit the showers, and had the order fulfilled and ready for pick up by the time I'm out.

The store layout is set in a way that one can move from one end of the store to the other rather easily while browsing.

I’m from Ottawa and let me tell you I wished we had one of these locations over there! They carry so many cute stationery and gifts! As well as plenty books of course! One thing I noticed us that they have different types of covers of popular books! (penguin classics) so if your looking for aesthetic covers definitely go check this place out! Staff was also super friendly!!
I went in with my 2yo on their second day open. The store was very organized and there was tons of selection from trading cards to pop culture t-shirts, statues, comics, and manga. The staff were very friendly and eager to assist. If they do not have the item you're looking for, they're willing to order it in. They also have tables reserved for tabletop games, so anyone is welcome to go in and play something. Definitely a place I will be returning to!

I've been frequently the Comic Hunter both in Charlottetown and in Moncton for more than a decade. The owners are very friendly and the store has all kinds of stock from board games, Warhammer models, and Gundam models to graphic novels and comics spanning decades. Definitely stop in!

The pictures attached are my most recent purchases. Graphic novels are wrapped in a sleeve for preservation.

This location is large and spacious with lots of options. Cute stationery and office supplies section, fun kids zone, well organized general sections, lots of options for games.

The downside to shopping here is that in-store prices don't match their online. If there is a line, it isn't a quick moving one, ever.

Overall a nice spot.

It's the best place to go for used and classic books. Good deals can be arranged. Lots of children's books, DVDs, CDs and audio books. Friendly clerks can help you with what you're looking for and if they don't have it, they can let you know if something similar comes in.

It has that classic old used book shop vibe so expect a bit of disorder and books in bags or boxes.
