Visited this book store only recently and was happy to find it fulfilled the promise of its reputation as the best book store in Hamilton, almost to my chagrin, as I've been living in the East End for years and have waited too long to visit. Who knows how many great and rare finds I missed out on! Which is what you will get here. While I did not walk out of the shop with anything in hand, what I walked out with was the knowledge that I will be back again, and soon. The owners are so friendly and can probably tell you are a first-timer, as they informed me of their young readers and mystery sections in the back of the store. The mystery section is very big. I asked the owner if she would recommend a mystery book based on the type of fiction I typically read and she listed a slew of authors right off the top of her head that I quickly tried to memorize. For this fiction reader, the store carries a modest section, but has so many other diverse and rare sections like vintage sci-fi, graphic novels, criminology, art history, spec fiction, poetry etc. that gave me the urge to step out of my comfort zone and explore new avenues. There are a couple chairs in the front where you can sit and read. I also noticed their lower-quality paperbacks sell for reasonable prices which you don't often see in most used-book stores. They also carry art prints, and some vintage art exhibition publications which can make great gifts. Can't wait to go back and spend more time here.

Brought my girls in for some books. More than reasonably priced. Bought a book myself by Oscar Wilde after hearing what the shop owner had to tell me about the book. I can see she is most passionate about her books and very knowledgeable. Sorry, I didn't get your name!
I've been purchasing used books from this store for a few years now and I love it! The owner(s) are wonderful. Based on discussions we've had, they have recommended books I wouldn't otherwise read - and these books have become treasured additions to my collection. Excellent store worthy of the support of our community.
Excellent selection and a very charming shop. There are also a few rarer items for those looking for a personal gift. Any used book shoppers would be thrilled to peruse! :)
A well organized shop with an obviously carefully curated selection of quality books, in good shape and at reasonable prices. The mystery section in particular is quite large and the owner is very knowledgeable about second world war history. This place is a gem!
