This is quite possibly one of the nicest libraries in the city.

I don't believe in love at first site... that is of course before I walked into BMV. Sure she's not as shiny and new as my beloved Richmond Chapters but what she lacks in aesthetics she quickly makes up in character... and price!

Definitely my favourite local bookstore... I am here pretty much once a week!
They have a great selection of books on music, pop culture, and fiction and the prices are excellent. They also carry a good mix of DVDs, CDs and Vinyl.
