My new favourite used bookstore in the city. Well organized and I could easily spend hours here! Friendly staff goes above and beyond to help you find what you are looking for.

Visited this store today and found 3 beautiful finely bound antiquarian books for my collection. Excellent selection, affordable prices. The girls working were wonderful and friendly, will definitely visit again

One of my favourite antiquarian bookstores in Canada. Friendly (which you don't always find in some antiquarian shops!) and knowledge staff willing to take the time to answer my questions and show me books in locked cases. Keep up the excellent work!
Bison Books is a friendly and busy open shop, specializing in antiquarian and quality secondhand books. We are located in the heart of downtown and maintain a curated and fresh selection of 20,000 well-organized books. We have a wide selection, but particularly enjoy classical studies, local history, Indigenous, art, fine bindings, antiquarian, first editions, ephemera, and anything else that we think is interesting or unique or likely to make someone smile.
We also conduct appraisals and work on collections development.
We are proud members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Canada, and affiliates of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers, and we adhere to their codes of conduct.
