Best Book store in Canada

C	Chantelle Bic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I want to love this bookstore because it’s local but the prices are just way to high for used books which you could buy brand new at other bookstores in the city. They do have a large selection but the layout is a bit confusing and most books we found were almost 20$ for used and very out dated. I wish they had a section that was for clearance and was easy to find. Employees did not ask if we needed help or even asked what we were looking for ended up walking out with nothing and headed to the mall to make our purchase.
R	RJ Remesat on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of my favorite book stores in Calgary! Could spend hours here looking through the many books. The store is expansive and well organized, and you can find books on pretty much any topic. Especially love the magazine section, and have found many vintage magazines to add to my collection.
A	Alyssa Faubert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love this used book store. I can often find the book I'm looking for, when at the library the hold list is very long. They are picky about which books they'll accept, but you can always return a book you've bought from them (keep the tag on!) to get 50% of the value as credit on your account. Great kid and young adult sections as well. Go explore! Find a new favorite book and support local!
H	Harry Tucker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is an AMAZING used bookstore. The staff are super friendly, the selection is amazing, the book conditions are great and the prices are excellent. I have found many hard-to-find titles here from my youth and a trip here is a great trip down memory lane. VERY highly recommended!
B	Ben Matear on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Friendly staff, amazing selection, decent prices. Great location. I wish they were open a bit alter but not that big of an issue just means I gotta go on weekends. If you love books and the smell of books you won't find a better place than this in Calgary!
A	Adam Volk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best used bookstore ever. Honestly, I defy you to find one that has this amount of selection. The prices are also fantastic and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. It's also a great place to trade or sell books (fun fact: they'll actually give you 50% back in trade value for any books you've bought for them - which is amazing). I've been shopping here for years and it's a Calgary institution for book lovers. Love this place so much.
N	N. V. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staff here is super nice, they feel like friends more then helpful employees. At this location they will buy ur books for cash or credit at their store locations. Call ahead if u want cash as they only pay in cash on certain days of the week. This location is kinda "cold" compared to the chinook location. I LOVE the chinook location, they have such comfortable couches and chairs there. The atmosphere there is warmer for some reason. Feels homey and less stuffy then the inglewood location. I recommend you check them both out on ur own as they both have their perks. Cant wait to finish my 6 book purchases from there and go back for more. OH and they will take back books uve bought from them at half price. Score!
E	Emily F on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fair’s Fair is one of my favorite stores in Calgary. It is so enjoyable to go and explore the stacks and find your next new read. The staff and extremely knowledgeable and have great recommendations. The store has a lot of interesting knickknacks and it’s a bit like being in an antique book store. You can also give them a call if you are looking for something specific and they will put it on hold for you.
