1. John W Doull Bookseller
Stepping into JWD feels like a retreat to older times. Gone is the user friendly, minimalist approach of the modern day shopping experience. John Doull is an exercise in quality & quantity to the point of blissful exhaustion.
Shelves are as high as…More »
2. The Jade W Bookstore
I popped back into The Jade W this week to pick up my very own copy of Moleskin's "Passion Journal". (As mentioned in my first review.) As cheesy as the title plays, I feel the $25.95 a worthy investment.
These booklets are a fantastic idea for those…More »

I stumbled upon The Jade W purely by accident. Its easy to loose sight of surroundings when you're… Read more »
3. Trident Booksellers and Cafe
A brilliant little nook for coffee drinkers and bookworms alike. The fusing of used books and hot beverages is a strategy deemed ideal.
The aesthetic borrows from the archives of old libraries with towering wooden shelves and dim lighting. Atmosphere…More »
4. Woozles Childrens Bookstore
O-M-G.
My jaw continues to drop as I make my way through this fan-diddily-tastic shop of wonders. Woozles is a toy store in its most classic sense: books, building blocks, toy trains, silly putty, yo-yos, stickers, stuffed animals, dolls, GAMES, etc.…More »
5. Outside the Lines - CLOSED
How disappointing to find that Outside the Lines has closed its doors permanently. Apparently this gem of a book-nook has been lacking financial prosperity for quite some time, and has recently shut things down for good.
This loss only reaffirms our…More »

Outside the Lines is feeling the summer spirit. I stopped in the other day to exchange critical… Read more »
6. Schooner Books
Yep. Yes. Uh-huh. Its good.
This old style home turned book bearer is a lovely addition to Halifax's South End area. Walking by, Schooner Books can easily be overlooked with its humble semblance; however, its surely a spot to know about.
Great range of…More »
7. Back Pages Used Books - CLOSED
I'm a big fan of Back Pages. However, I'm sorry to say I write today with some less than glorious feedback.
The last three novels I've purchased have come unbound early on during my read. The first time was a bummer. The second time was discouraging.…More »

8. Atlantic News
Atlantic News offers the best selection of magazine content within the downtown vicinity. It provides customers an opportunity to browse through a wide range of subject matter and internationally acclaimed magazines. Cars, science, fashion, art,…More »
9. Drala
Drala is one of my favourite shops to browse. Its quiet mentality and wholesome offerings makes it just an overall replenishing experience, and whether I buy something or not, my own emphasis on lifestyle is clearly reaffirmed.
I am budgeting for the…More »

10. Read's United Book Exchange
United Bookstore offers a good selection of reads with a convenience store mentality. Instant snacks and carbonated beverages are available to customers alongside lotto tickets and Ticket Pro orders.
Its a pretty smart buy in, considering the store's…More »
