134 James St S, Hamilton“The most amazing little bookstore. You have to call to make an appointment, but it's absolutely worth it. May seem odd to do so, but it's easy to make happen. If you are a bookworm or love cozy bookstores, then you have arrived. The owner was lovely and very helpful!”
“A very unique and niche bookstore that hosted a lovely art show. The vibes were thoughtful, lowlit and green. The people were kind and informative. The book selection itself was the most curated that I’ve ever seen before with books fanning from pop fiction, history, religious texts and smut. 10/10”
“Excellent selection of comic books. If you can't find what you're looking for, just ask Gary! He is very helpful, knowledgeable and an awesome person!”
“I have been going to Big B Comics for over 20 years and have always been a fan of their service. They have a huge selection of back issues as well as new and used graphic novels and white variety of new comic books as well. A callout to Walt, Riley, Reese, John Lee and Jeremiah for carrying on a comforting comic store experience”

1060 King St W, Hamilton“I live in Toronto now but I always come back to this bookstore because of the vibes and the great customer service. The availability of books is great too and I order to pickup when I’m in town!”
“Really nice place. Cozy. A bit disorganized with books everywhere but the people are nice and accommodating. I was looking for a particular book which they didn’t have but they said they’d keep an eye out for it. The price is fair too. I’ll be visiting this place again”

852 King St W, Hamilton“Excellent selection and customer service. I always find amazing books here. They are particular about what they buy which is fantastic for people looking to buy, give you a fair price towards store credit and are really good at steering you to an area if you ask. Friendly, knowledgeable, and great conversation. Highly recommend.”
“One of the better Cols stores I’ve been to! Love the selection and found things I’ve never seen before in other Chapters stores.However, a staff member who was working there the first time I made a visit really ruined the store for me . During a routine return she treated me in a condescending/power trippy way which I found strange because I have never been treated with disrespect in a Coles/Chapters store by a staff member. They are some of the most friendly retail workers out there.Regardless of my experience with this particular staff member, I would definitely suggest this location to anybody in the Hamilton area!”

2 King St W, Hamilton“This is my favorite book store. I've been going here for years and each time I am impressed with the variety of books, pens, and unique items. I love visiting the tables in the middle of the store because it has really cool items you won't find anywhere else. Definitely rated 5 star if I could rate it 10 I would.”
“Fabulous book store with an excellent, diverse variety of books! Lots of stock too, for a smaller space. If you're looking for thought-provoking, important, current books with great representation and diversity, this is your stop! That goes for adult, YA, and kids books too! Tons of 2SLGBTQIA+ books & graphic novels as well, both fan-faves and new releases. Also cute bookmarks and journals! Staff is always incredibly friendly and kind, which makes the whole experience wonderful every time.Thanks for doing what you guys do! You're an important resource for the community :)”
