2. The Book Man
On our way through the area recently, my honey suggested we stop and visit The Bookman.
I was impressed. Great selection - well stocked, neat and organised selection of everything. And by everything I do mean everything.

3. Pulpfiction Books
pulpfiction is definitely the place to go for recently published books.

The R.A.T. is the kind of a place that a poet/typography-junky would think of as heaven.

Seriously one of the best bookstores around and definitely one of the gems of Galiano Island. And in keeping with my theory about bookstores and bookstore cats, this one has a lovely beast. Called different things by different people, this…More »
