These are the businesses I know of who appreciate science fiction and fantasy fans, and support fan activity.

4/10/2009

You've got to love a place that has a sign in the window with a hypnotic swirl behind the words "you want to rent a movie", and a full-sized Gort towering beside the cash register. Browsing for videos in this place is like hanging out in the rec room…More »

4/10/2009 First to Review

The store's slogan is "It's more fun in costume", and it's definitely true. I have rented from here a couple of times (for the North Shore Canada Day Parade), and the staff are helpful, enthusiastic, and VERY friendly. The selection of costumes to…More »

4/10/2009

As a science fiction fan, I have long had my eyes open, looking for a "fan friendly" place to hold fan club meetings. Well, I've found it. La Fontana has room for lots of people (over 100 came out for the final episode of Battlestar Galactica), not…More »

I've been following ABC through three different locations, now, and one thing has remained consistent: a truly breathtaking selection of science fiction and fantasy. In the current store, the entire West wall of the store is crammed, literally from…More »

3715 10th Ave W
Vancouver, BC V6R 2G5
(604) 228-8223

Category: Bookstores

Neighbourhood: Point Grey

4/11/2009 First to Review

A lot of people moan about how the big box bookstores are driving the little "mom and pop" stores out of business. One strategy to survive in the market today is to specialise. White Dwarf hasn't just survived, it's THE place to go if you're looking…More »
