Has been quite a few years since knowing BisonBooks and her owner. Also bought some books from this store. Contact with the owner a few online. Very professional and patient, of course, very knowledgeable. Wish have a chance to pay a visit. Highly recommended

For a couple years now, I have been in Winnipeg a couple times a month for work, and it has become my habit to go to bison every time I am here. I don’t think I have ever walked out without a gem. I am always excited for my visits. Bison is in the top tier of used bookstores. Highly recommend.

Excellent selection in good prices. A local cultural institution in the downtown area. A rare breed!
