“Renaud-Bray is a famous bookstore in Montreal and their branch in Angrignon mall offers a wide selection of books and educational accessories. The staff are very helpful.”
“This is what a bookstore should be! Inviting, well curated (with a discernable point of view) and a broad selection. The location and the highly burnished wood floors just adds to the overall appeal of the place. A really good place for relaxed browsing and snooping.”
“Oh my gosh. This bookstore will forever have me in a chokehold. Went with my friend twice while we were in mtl this weekend. The staff are also all so sweet and knowledgeable!! Had an amazing poetry section aswell!”
“Cash only bookstore, lack of french books. Great pricing with a 1$ books section, nice aesthetic vibe. The place smells sometimes but apart from that very good spot for second hands.”
“There I was able to find the gifts and toys I was looking for for the family!
Full collection of Comics, Comics, Manga, Pokemon, Starwars, Marvel, DC, Comics, Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Madame Web, Spawn and more!
I always go there when I'm in Montreal ????”
“By far the best used bookstore around the South Shore/MTL. Prices are extremely fair, most books are in excellent condition and the owner and staff are extremely nice! Have been buying books here for 15+ years, and the prices and quality haven't changed. Huge selection of both french and english books, dvds, cds and puzzles. They even have a a huge section in the front with free books.
I purchased 12 books a few days ago, tital came out to a little over 30$. Not only that, 3 of my 12 books were mint condition hardcover, first editions that were a little over 3$ each!!”
“Great bookstore with not only a large choice of books (in French) but excellent advisors who will take time with you to suggest you different authors and books and collections - and even propose you another bookstore if they don't have what you are looking for .

“A wonderful selection of books for all ages and reading levels. The bookstores took the time to really understand what I was looking for and described their recommendations in great detail. I've seen them do the same for several other customers. This bookstore is a gem!”
“This is a great neighborhood bookstore with well-curated lists in English and French, including many local authors, and fiction & nonfiction about Montreal. Perfect place to find something excellent to read; knowledgeable and friendly staff.”
“Encore has turned into our new routine of checking vinyls, posters, and books. They have a nice collection of books and posters with reasonable price. We check on vinyls every time and we find interesting stuff! Its very cozy and staff are very nice!”

“What a good place, best bookstore ive been in at montreal so far. Good selection of philosophy books, with most at them at $3-4 only.
Worker is also very nice!”
“I went there with my friend once. The bookstore is super beautiful and has a very pleasant vintage feel! The gentleman who works there is super nice and welcoming! This place definitely deserves a 5 star!”
“Pleasant, local place of discovery. I order both online and in person. Friendly and warm customer service. I even make the detour even though the big chains are closer to home. Would you like to open a branch in La Prairie? ??”
“(Translated by Google) Nice bookstore. Large selection of books and beautiful games for children(Original)Belle librairie. Grande sélection de livres et de beaux jeux pour enfants”
“I would like to thank Camille very sincerely. Conscientious, proactive, very attentive, she helped me find books on the very vast subject of Love (seen from a spiritual, philosophical angle). As a thorough search was not possible during my stay in the store, she took the trouble to note down my contact details and found some very relevant books for me, which I was able to purchase two days later from his colleagues, just as friendly.”
“Excellent customer service. I went looking for the Invincible series and all the staff was overjoyed to assist and be helpful. Exactly the kind of service you want at a specialty shop. Great selection of comics and mtg supplies.”
“This bookstore is one of the most secret and richest treasures in Montreal. It's a veritable Ali-Baba's cave for lovers of classic literature and other belles-lettristes, as the Germans say so well. Everyone will find what they are looking for, at a price that will allow them to fill a big bag of books from which to draw pleasure, wisdom or comfort.”
“Came here looking for books to learn French as an adult and there was a staff member who was so helpful and guided me to the appropriate sections with tips on how to improve! She asked questions and was very thoughtful in her responses. I appreciate her guidance :-)
The store itself has a wide variety of books. There is an English and French section (divided around 50/50 of the store). It is smaller than chain bookstores but they have many books of quality!”
“This bookstore is an outright treasure. I hopped in here while on vacation to take a quick peek, maybe get a few children's books, and a simple novel for myself to practice French. And I left feeling this experience will likely be one of the top highlights of my trip. They were so welcoming, helpful and enthusiastic to share all kinds of recommendations and information. I am so grateful I stumbled upon this place and that places & humans like this exist. ✨”
“Been here multiple times, the store owner is so incredibly kind and patient with me every single time. Always look forward to coming here even if I can't do it often. Cannot recommend this place enough”
“This is a Quiet little Christian Bookstore
With a very friendly and helpful Grandma who's willing to assist in whichever way possible to answer questions regarding her materials which are being sold there, however I couldn't get the Ryrie Study Bible which I needed but offered to order it for me anytime I'm ready, therefore I promised to go back there. Please try to check it out you'll be glad you did.”
“I love this neighborhood bookstore so much. It smells like paper. I like to stroll among the pens and inks, discovering beautiful books. It’s always a comforting visit when I go!”
“Very pleasant neighborhood bookstore. Kind staff and good advice on buying novels based on what you like. Practical for ordering books which arrive quickly, and advantageous loyalty card. A little treasure on the Fleury promenade.”
“Locally owned bookseller, world-class customer service; a touch on the smaller side but it's my go-to for ordering books! The staff is always helpful, friendly, and easy to get ahold of.”
“I can only imagine the difficulty of what it would be like to own and operate a store like this today. Excellent customer service! They carry a vast selection of books and toys that cater from children to adults both in French and English. Well worth a visit!”
“I love this place, my second go to for books. My only complaint is that you guys removed the calligraphy section and replaced it with baby toys. Please bring it back it was so much better ?
Response: I don’t know how to reply to comments so here’s my answer
I specifically liked the options for different calligraphy pens and the variety in sketch books there, I got a lot of my school supplies there (and personal stuff too) because the stuff was really high quality. I do a lot of art so that’s where I got a lot of the things I have today.”
“Charming neighborhood bookstore, courteous and competent employees. I went there to sell my books and I found the experience more pleasant than at L'Échange. I had time to wander around the store a bit and there were used and new books interspersed, organized by genre. When it comes to selling books, they are interested in literature, philosophy, etc. They don't really take recipe books, English books or young adult books. At 222 (opposite), they will buy young adult/teen books. The two branches buy books at 25% of the market price. In short, good experience and I recommend for buyers (although the selection is not huge) and sellers!
PS: the books you don't sell could delight the foundations and patients of your local hospital, so don't hesitate to head there with what you have left!”

“I go every so often to pick up a new notebook. I find it a dismal reflection of where we're at as a society how hard it is to find any kind of notebook or journal Without lined pages - just blank pages! They keep a single model of blank paged book in stock, which ive purchased several times now, next to maybe 50 varieties of lined pagers. I ask you - how are we expected to exercise our free will, our unburdened imaginations, to nurture the evolving minds of our children, if we only have lined pages to work with????”
“Had a great experience at the knife skills class taught by Jonathan! I learned a lot of tips that I know I’ll apply in my daily cooking, and I appreciated that the class was so hands on. The food that was served was delicious too!”
“An unhurried shopping experience. Plus if you don't find it on their shelves, they're ready to order it for delivery. The fidelity points make for an alternative means of currency:)”
