“Lovely shop. We were going to pass by but my daughter insisted on going in. It had lots of awesome options for our long train ride home. If I had more time I would have browsed longer but we quickly found a few things to entertain on the trip home! I loved how curated everything was but there was still a lot to look through. The staff were really nice too.”

“I came in with my 4 year old on the first day of federal tax break. The store was sooo busy, but there were enough staff to assist everyone. I got to ask my questions and directed to the right section of the store. We found what we needed, and more ?. The cashier was quick, washroom is amazingly clean, and the shelves are well organized. Price is about the same as other book stores. I came especially to Kidsbooks for the books for kids. They are the only one that has an extensive selection of kids books, hence the name Kidsbooks.”

“My wife and I recently visited Commercial Drive and found this hidden gem of bookstore. And being an established author and member of The Writers Union of Canada, I known books. The store holds a voluminous selection of everything, in particular Canadiana. I found The Mountain Shadow by Gregory David Roberts, sequel to Shantaram. The staff was cheery and delightful. I highly recommend taking an hour to peruse the stores offerings and enjoy the vibe. (The last photo is me.)”

“Great selection of books and decorations for a good price. I loved strolling around looking at everything. Also their clothes were a reasonable price, would have bought some, but they I didn’t like the colors available for the pants I wanted. I give only 4 stars though as the girl at the cashier was absolutely unfriendly, it felt like she thought she was something better than I am, really weird vibe. I would still go there again though and hope for a friendlier cashier next time.”

“With gift giving season near skip Indigo and head to this small but easy to get to book store one block west of Cambie St Skytrain station. They have an up to date new book section, plus for those that love mysteries a large section. Great cards for all occasions to go along with that gift book. Also they do a ten book purchase card, concept similar to coffee shop ones. Plenty of helpful staff with smiling faces.”

“Bought the "History of the Old Testament" (Schedl) from them recently. I do not think I have seen better packaging and delivery. They wrote me a personal note. The books were wrapped and stamped, the box was packaged excellently to prevent damage during transport. If I ever get a chance to visit Vancouver, I'm stopping at this bookstore.
Thank you for providing the Truth to countless people, and doing it with excellence. By His grace and for His glory.”

“A wonderful collection of books, found exactly what I was looking for. I did not however linger as I was hoping to (Sunday afternoon. ) The music screaming from the computer was far from pleasant and not at all in keeping with what I would consider the calm of a book store. Music chosen solely for the enjoyment of the one employee.”

“This is a very unique bookstore store. I deeply appreciate the commitment of the owner and staff to keeping books as treasures of knowledge and wisdom, not mere commodities. True, it's a bit overwhelming in there, but it's rather well organized. I come here when I need to read deeply about a topic - not just stuff from the current New York Times bestsellers list. The owner's suggestions and stories never fail to improve my grasp of whatever topic I am looking into, and the staff members are also committed to helping customers find what they need. Thank you.”
