Book Stores in Guelph, ON

“Ordered online for the first time a week ago. It arrived yesterday. And I was a little worried on how the conditions of the books were going to be but the books looked brand new. Very impressed, especially for the price of the books. Will be ordering my next book haul from them again. Also, they wrote a cute note, which was a nice touch.”

“I love browsing The Bookshelf whenever I’m hanging around downtown. A great place to find fun birthday presents too as they have puzzles and some board/card games too!”

“My partner & I went into Indigo on an adventure to pickup the book 'Wuthering Heights' after seeing the movie and than we found ourselves looking for something new aswell. The selection is always awesome and what made it even better was one of the epic humans working there, named Haley. They helped us with numerous excellent recommendations and were incredibly warm and friendly and helped us find exactly what we were looking for and more. This person made our time there even more memorable! It's always a pleasure at Indigo in Guelph <3”

“There's no doubt The Dragon is a staple establishment to the community of Guelph and is integral to so many residents and visitors who are not just stopping by for the latest comic issue release but to have a provided safe space to meet others and attend events with others sharing their hobby/interest.

The Dragon store tends to provide recent popular comics including indie titles, games, collectible figures and host events in the area right beside the store such as D&D, MTG and Pokémon TCG (although you need to signup at times I believe there is still walk-in at times). They also host visits from writers and artists in the industry.

The main store is wonderfully designed the layout entices visitors to come in and browse (and hopefully buy heh). I love it, and it's worth mentioning how clean it's kept. Yes this matters.

I've many friends and colleagues in the industry mostly writers and a few artists and I get a smile seeing their work on the shelves in-store right here in Guelph. I'd never really stepped into the store frequently until 2023 but I have had family visit the store on my behalf over a decade who always praised their experiences.

While I've not run into Jenn or had the pleasure of visiting The Dragon's location in Milton I raise my glass of rootbeer to her and wish continued success.
I have had the pleasure interacting with Amy a good few times who always had a positive aura making me feel welcome and informed.

I've had pleasant experiences with many other staff who could also tell when I was a little bewildered searching for a title and were happy to help. This attitude keeps me coming back and eager to continue recommending the location to families and friends to visit from out of town.

Long Live The Dragon!”

“A good local used book store. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is a massive number and variety of books. If you go there you might not find what your looking for, but you will find something.

The only problem is that the books aren't always organized. The majority are categorized alphabetically, but the section I was in (young adult) had a lot of the books scattered around. I would find books from the same author and series in different shelves or sides of the section.

Overall, and good store that is definitely worth a visit for anyone that enjoys reading.”
