One of my favourite spots for quality used books. Tons of great academic texts in the $10 range. Great selection.

Super cool shop with very wide selection of books, some great records too. Good luck leaving empty handed.

This poor review is really on in reference to their COVID policies. I’ve visited several times before and found their selection to be stellar, and the service fine.

Their 1 customer at a time limit is warranted and fair. Their 10 minute per customer limit is entirely reasonable given the circumstances.

It is, however, a shame that the clerk seemed to have no desire to enforce that limit. After 40 minutes spent outside, and asking on three separate occasions without receiving so much as a verbal response from the store employee, I left. During that wait 10 other potential customers came and went. I went to the cafe across the street for a coffee, and while I drank it another 20 minutes passed with no change. I hope that customer bought a lot of books, but when I left they still had none in their hands.

Edit as I can’t respond to the owner’s response in a separate post:
1) The employee poked his/her head out and waved at me. He was very aware that I was there
2) The customers who came and went did not enter the store. They waited outside with us for several minutes before getting frustrated and leaving
3)The customer was browsing books. I can confirm that they were perusing the shelves and picking them up.
4) This 1 star review did not effect your average rating. It was an accurate representation of the service offered by your store as, despite being first in line for an hour, I was not able to access the services because your employee was unwilling to enforce your advertised policy. If more poor ratings show up and your average rating does wind up decreasing then that is on you, not me.

Amazing place filled with every kind of book imaginable. With COVID, they only allow one person inside at a time (understandable given it is quite a small space) and you are given a 10 minute browsing/purchasing time. Since these measures are in place, I highly recommend knowing which exact authors/titles you are looking for because 10 minutes isn’t long enough to go through all the novels available!

I love getting lost in their shelves. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. Books of all kind in French and English. I go there monthly to see what’s been added to the comicbook shelves. I sell them back my old books when I am done with them.
