The sign at the door reads, "If you can't find what you're looking for inside...don't worry, neither can I!" which one should expect even before entering Dencan Used Books just by looking at the landslide of books "displayed" in the front window (see my photos).
The store is proudly messy, crazily disorganized and somewhat hard to move around in, so if you can't handle the mess, you might skip out.....but if you can, you'll find a boat load of great books, DVDs, VHS, LPs and more for DIRT cheap prices. Oh, and a collection of nudie-mags in the back (if you don't MIND used nudie-mags...).
Either way it's got a great selection....but don't go looking for anything specific!Listed in: CHEAP Toronto, Book Nooks

Review from Mark H.

I am the world's biggest used-bookstore fan, so it pains me to trash one, but I don't do it lightly. This place is impossibly crowded (understatement), horribly organized, and stuffed so much with piles of books and magazines that it's virtually impossible to walk or see anything. That's not a big deal if the stock is interesting and varied, but here the 'literature' was more on the variety of trade-paperbacks and mass-market books, like what you'd find at the back of a thrift shop. I won't be stopping by again. I wouldn't be surprised if they were closing up shop, anyway, it sort of looked like that inside...

I've been going to Dencan for years. They started out at College and Dufferin back in the 60s, moved to Dundas and Dufferin and later to the Junction where they remain to this day. The proprietor Eddie is a very laid back soul and it's reflected in his overly-laid back store. Go spend some time browsing through his stock and I'm sure you'll find a page turner there somewhere.
