1. Fireside Books
I love me a bookstore! Oooh, to thumb through the sweet-smelling pages of a delicious new novel -- heaven on earth!
To add to my collection of bookstore reviews: Fireside Books. A small, local shop, the space is cozy, with several strategically placed…More »
2. ABC Book & Comic Emporium
Vancouver, BC V6J 1W6
(604) 682-3019
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
This used book and comics store is tucked away just off South Granville Street, on Broadway Avenue. Though it's easy to miss, it may be among the best used book stores I've experienced in Vancouver, especially if you're looking for sci-fi, fantasy,…More »
3. Pulpfiction Books
According to the Georgia Strait newspaper, Pulpfiction is the best used book store in the city. Sure, it has a great selection of titles to choose from, but the best? You decide.
I will say this. The staff is friendly and informative; they really know…More »
4. Tanglewood Books
Vancouver, BC V6J 1W6
(604) 736-8876
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Despite its location nearly directly across the street from a gigantic Chapters, Tanglewood Books, in my opinion, really holds its own. Perhaps I'm biased (it's true I love used books much more than I do buying new), but Tanglewood offers a wide…More »
5. Barbara-Jo's Books To Cooks
Vancouver, BC V6J 1H8
(604) 688-6755
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Neither a great chef nor a die-hard foodie, even I can appreciate this bookstore, which is dedicated to all things culinary. Located in Granville Island's Net Loft building, you may even be lucky enough to catch a visiting chef doing a demo in…More »
6. Carson Books
Vancouver, BC V6S 2G1
(604) 222-8787
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
A perfect little used-book shop on Dunbar Street. I've almost always found what I was looking for every time I've gone into Carson Books. The owner and staff are friendly, quiet, and kind, and will gladly help you locate a title if you need it. A…More »
7. Kidsbooks
Another landmark Vancouver store, which just happens to be owned by one of my best and oldest friend's mom, Ms. Simon. One a public librarian, Ms. Simon and her staff are all passionate about matching the right bit of child lit with the right reader.…More »
8. Does Your Mother Know?
Vancouver, BC V6J 5L1
(604) 730-1110
Category:
Newspapers & Magazines
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
This is my favourite little magazine and newspaper shop in Vancouver. Besides having a quirky name, Does Your Mother Know on West 4th Avenue carries hundreds and hundreds of glossies and other magazine- and paper-style publications.
Be warned: This is…More »
9. Lawrence Books
Vancouver, BC V6N 3E7
(604) 261-3812
Category:
Bookstores
Neighbourhood: Dunbar-Southlands
In terms of used book stores, this one's a mecca.
Lawrence Books is located at the corner of Dunbar Street and 41st Avenue. It's quite large but packed with so many books inside I highly recommend all you claustrophobic types out there skip this one.

10. Book Warehouse Discount Book Stores - CLOSED
Book Warehouse sells popular fiction and non-fiction books at seriously reduced prices. While the store itself isn't as expansive as, say, a Chapter's or Indigo, it does include a good selection of different themes and genres, and always has copies…More »
