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.

Beautiful book store in the quaint downtown Victoria area, I stopped by here and bought a book for my friend Priyam's upcoming birthday. They have a great collection of Indigenous books, they should expand that section further! Worth a visit if you're nearby, you will not be disappointed!
