Best Used book store in Canada

I	Ivy Jiang (Ivy) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I know it's closed due to Covid but if anyone knows if and when it will reopen that would be pretty cool. I always see the front light on while walking to the bus stop and it looks like a very cozy store :)
J	John Uyeno on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great neighborhood bookstore! Best approach is to go in without a specific book in mind. Explore the huge collection (some shelves are two rows deep) and then give them all your money. Lawrence is the only bookstore of its kind left in the city and deserves the attention and traffic of a Chapters outlet.
A	Alex May on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not a great looking exterior, but dont be fooled. Huge selection of books, and lots of interesting finds to be had. Accepts visa which ive found to be unusual for a used book store. The lady who is usually on cash is quite knowledgeable about what is in stock, although the shelves are not super well organized.
M	Mike Martinescu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place. I sometimes go there to find old books to give as gifts, or to get a certain edition of a book. Allows trade-ins, so it's a good place to go to if you go through lots of books (like my neighbor who likes murder mysteries).
K	Ken Peters on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not bad, but... They have pretty decent variety available, and I did find a good book there, but their hardcovers are a bit over-priced. No wonder they seem so stuffed with stock. With prices like that, stock won't move. I found one HC book I would've bought, but it was clearly damaged and yet priced as though it was in excellent condition. I asked for $5 off due to the damaged pages and was curtly refused. Fine then. But do you ever expect to sell it? Not at that price.
D	Darlene Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hardly any walking room. Very crowded with books in boxes on the floor blocking shelves. Some hard to reach shelves. A book lover's dream but only if you find what you wanted. Bit dusty and musty from the smell of old books. Some very old volumes of classics if that's your thing. I only visit if I think there might be something of interest. Not a bookstore for the contemporary browser.
T	Terri A on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Come for rare finds, huge selection, and the adventure! Don't expect organization, and the fiction section is freezing in the winter-- it's part of the charm. Super helpful and knowledgeable owner. Very reasonable pricing. This place is a Vancouver gem.
W	William Thomas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What is this freaking store!?!? I've lived here for two years and its never opened, no one's been in, and literally nothing has been disturbed inside this store for the last two years. All the books in the window are horrible faded by the sun, and I've looked into the front register but it looks like it's covered in dust and nothing's happened in here. This has literally been vexxing me for two years now. I have so many questions. It actually creeps me out quite a bit
