This institution on Yonge Street has lasted for decades, outlasting its rivals, and it will hopefully last for longer. An unprepossessing storefront, this place has an excellent selections of books old and new, available at great prices. The bins of books just outside the windows are a favourite place for me to quickly browse while passing. ABC Books is strongly recommended by me for any bibliophile visiting downtown Toronto.

couldn't count how many times I've stopped in my tracks to check out the titles in the book troughs set up in front. inside is tight but neatly organized given the variety of books and space to display them. happy to find a bunch of titles i was looking for in New age / Eastern philosophy. I'll be coming here, along with Seekers, as long as they're open and I'm in the city... really great shops for harder to find titles and authors
I have been in love with this place since back in the days of going to undergrad at U of T. It’s well organized, the selection is incredible, and they have a great mix of new and old! The owner is knowledgeable, helpful, and very friendly! The discount book boxes outside always have random hidden gems if you take the time to look! On my last visit I picked up a bunch of Agatha Christie books that were gorgeous and in wonderful condition. I highly recommend this shop for any book lover!
Amazing prices, but while the books are organized by genre, the organization itself is horrible. Sometimes series are together, and other times, each book is shelves apart or you can never find the first book of any series. Still a solid 4 stars because of the extensive selection and amazing prices—you just have to dedicate an hour or two to find a series.
I think, the manager today needs a hearing test. I asked him, when is the best time to call back to the store to know whether the books is in store or not, since he said, the books I mentioned frequently in store, but now sold out. So, I know, when to come to the bookstore to get the books. I did not ask him to call me back to let me know the books I am looking are in store. He said, call Indigo for that. How rude are you?
