1. Pulpfiction Books
Organized? With categorized, labeled shelves? It can't be a used book store -- can it?
A great little gem of a store - I entertain myself here thumbing through whatever catches my eye - never intending on staying long, but inevitably winding up…More »
2. Pulpfiction Books
Everything I said still stands, however, on my last visit I have to admit, I was a little put off.
When I walked in, I said that I had never sold a book before and that I had a bag full of books that I wanted to part ways with. I was told that they…More »

The verbose selection yet simple sincerity in their friendliness makes Pulpfiction Books the poem… Read more »
3. Blackberry Books
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S2
(604) 685-6188
Categories:
Bookstores,
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
Here fishy, fishy, fishy. With t-minus 24 hours to find a fishy child's book I was frantically searching. And what I found at Blackberry Books was like caviar!
The store was quiet, even with the hustling and bustling of the buskers just outside. The…More »
4. Book Warehouse Discount Book Stores
As soon as I need a new read - I head to the Book Warehouse. The prices are better than the suggested retail on every book they have. The Davie street location has a great local author section and the Staff Picks are generally good bets.
With a…More »
5. Does Your Mother Know?
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 730-1110
Category:
Newspapers & Magazines
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I xoxo Does your Mother Know! It's the perfect place to get lost in after grabbing a coffee and escaping for a spell.
My only wish is that they had some sections named. When I'm just perusing, it's great to get lost, but when I've got 6 minutes on…More »
6. Carson Books & Records
It may not go together like white on rice, but when I'm craving some Eatery sushi time, I choose to go earlier rather than later just so I can get a whiff of the book smell. You know the one I'm referring to, a delightful blend of dusty, musty,…More »
7. Steveston Book Store
Vancouver history lovers need to hit up this store at least once! Where did they find a "Canadian Guide to BBQ" cookbook and a book highlighting all of the great performers who have rocked the likes of the Commodore (1929-1970) and the Orpheum?…More »
8. The Travel Bug
When you wish the travel section at your local bookstore would explode and engulf the biographies, references, and sudoku section? Then come here.
It's always fun to browse, plan and think about an upcoming trip - it adds to the excitement! With…More »
9. Dandelion Records and Emporium
Vancouver, BC V5T 3E2
(778) 737-7367
Categories:
Vinyl Records,
Cards & Stationery
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Alright, boys in the back, girls in the front! With a well organized selection of vinyl in the back and books, accessories, cards, alarm clocks, gadgets and gizmos beautifully arranged at the front, Dandelion always deserves a little browse about.

10. Banyen Books & Sound
Vancouver, BC V6R 1P1
(604) 732-7912
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I wish I was barefoot (like the guy stocking the shelves) or wearing patchouli. Banyen reminds me of what Kits was probably like in the 1970's. Even the lovely little benches and rocks along the east side of the building feel like an island retreat…More »
11. Wanderlust
Vancouver, BC V6J 1M7
(604) 739-2182
Categories:
Bookstores,
Luggage
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
From the outside, Wanderlust looks smaller than it is. Once inside it's magical doors, you're exposed to a world, literally!
From suitcases to mosquito nets and fast drying underwear (17 countries, 6 weeks, 1 pair of underwear is what the label said)…More »
12. Kidsbooks
"Mabel Murple's house was purple" "I like my red shoes, I like my red shoes, I like my red shoes, I like my red shoes." Those are just a couple of lines from recent rad books I've found through these magical doors.
When you walk into a store like…More »
13. Canterbury Tales Secondhand Books
I was a little reluctant to visit. Actually, it was the last place on my list to hawk my less-loved books. Why? It was my first impression. A long time ago, I stopped in and asked if I could share a community event poster... I was met with a pretty…More »
