“Great staff with a huge selection of books, bibles and studying aids. They also have a great selection of new, previously enjoyed and clearance books. If you've heard of it, can't find it or think it's no longer available, the staff here will find it for you.”

“This is a great example of how a physical store shapes the urban landscape and the district/city's identity.
Great merchandising, stylish space design, plenty of hidden gems, and great service... thanks for all of this.
Especially, I was impressed by merchandising (unique stands, presentation inside, clear handmade navigation).
And of course, the level for kids = its 100% rabbit hole from Alice in Wonderland, must visit with kids.
Thanks for this great example!
p.s. maybe it makes sense to add a bit more impulse-purchase range near the cash desk. There's a great tourist flow, and it will increase the level of conversion between visitors and store buyers..you know, all these bookmarks, stickers, pins, etc.”
“I love how this bookstore is so close to the bus stop! My time never feels wasted — even if I only have 10 minutes, I always end up finding an interesting book. They have a huge variety of selections, and there’s always something new to discover. Definitely one of my favourite quick-stop bookstores!”
“I could not rate Bolen Books' customer service more highly, it's easily the best in the business.
I recently placed an order with them that involved some complex shipping arrangements. I emailed the store first to make sure they were resolveable and Justin responded extremely quickly, having already put my books to one side to make sure I didn't miss out while we finalised the shipping matter. Justin then researched my shipping options quickly and thoroughly, and then presented them to me. He honestly went above and beyond.
Thank-you Justin and Bolen Books, it was an absolute pleasure engaging with your business. You honestly made my day!!”
“I went to Legends a bit nervous, having never stepped foot in a comic book store before, but it ended up being one of the best experiences.
I’d highly recommend this shop to anyone who’s looking to get into comics. The owner took the time to come check on me, asked what I was looking for, and was genuinely excited to help me find a Lobo comic (Which is now the coolest thing I own). He told me about all the awesome different Lobo issues that their are and even showed me some new comics that came in.
It was welcoming, informative, and made getting into comics feel exciting instead of intimidating. I’ll definitely be going back to learn more and pick up more Lobo and new comics.”
“We walked to the store that was on the corner. They had everything from comic books to records to sign jerseys even assigned gear from the karate kid..
We ended up spending a little time there and prices were not bad. They even had Funko Pops here and a bit of everything. Kids had a great time. I would come again”
“I visited this bookshop several times and bought mazing books, mostly classics. The lady who owns it is very friendly and helpful. There is a good variety of second hand books on several matters with good prices and unique editions. It also sells postcards and old photos. Outside there is a small selection of books on sale . One of my favourite bookstores.”
“All employees are very nice and I find the prices of everything reasonable.
I do have a suggestion to all new students though: do not buy your textbooks until you are certain you are going to need them. Almost all my classes require textbooks, and yet, none of them are necessary for completing the class.”
“Ivy's is an amazing local book store, with extremely welcoming and friendly staff, a wide selection of books, and very enticing window displays. Oak Bay is extremely lucky to have it.”
“Do u need to refresh your critical thinking skills? Here's that spot for a visit.
A lot of controversial ideas, concepts, and points of view... from gardening to the world's financial systems.
Just remember to use your own critical thinking?”
“This is such a great shop for used books! The best in Victoria. They always have a great selection and when you return a book you get a credit added to your account. When you buy a book you get a discount on it from your credits.”

“Very nice bookstore, the only downside is that it is small and can be a bit crowded and hard to walk if four customers are in the store. Staff is very friendly and helpful; even though it is a smaller store, I always find what I'm looking for.”
“? Hair Goals Achieved! ?
Today’s glow-up wouldn’t be complete without giving a big THANK YOU to my lovely friend Richelle who worked her magic on my hair at Chatters Salon Mayfair! ? You’re not just a friend, but a true artist with such a sharp eye for detail and color. I’m soooo in love with the result—it's vibrant, soft, and exactly what I was dreaming of. ?✨
Richelle is one of those professionals who truly knows what she’s doing, and it shows in every part of her work. From the warm welcome to the perfect blend of shades, I left the salon feeling like a whole new person. If you ever need a hair makeover that will leave you glowing with confidence, go to Richelle at Chatters—you won't regret it! ?♀️? #ThankYouRichelle #HairTransformation #ChattersSalonPro #FeelingMyself”
“I have ordered from AbeBooks more than once this past year, and have had great transactions. But I do tend to check out the actual bookseller and where the book is actually coming from, so I can feel confident that I will receive what I ordered. For example, I ordered a book that was actually being provided thru Half Price Books, who I know is a legit company! Order from reputable sellers and you will most likely have a good experience with AbeBooks as I have.
My books, seen below, were sent fast, with tracking provided, and arrived in the condition described or even better than I expected!”
“Charming bookstore in an old building. I would have wanted to spend more time looking at the books here but we had to rush. They also have a ramp for strollers and the staff are helpful and opened the door for us.”
