Browsing books is one of my favourite things in the world to do so I do my part in trying to make sure that experience doesn't disappear completely, particularly in the current situation. Luckily for them, I have an inability to not enter a bookshop when I pass and a second inability to leave emptyhanded.
Shoutouts to Owl's Nest Books in Britannia for new books and Fair's Fair if second hand books are your thing. They have huge locations in Inglewood and across from the Chinook train station. |
Add
Shelf Life to the bookstore list. Probably my favourite spot due to convenience, but right there with Pages and Owl's Nest in terms of great local bookshops.
