Great

This is good place to spend some spare time. You may come up with some really good and hard to find books in their used books collection and get them for a bargain price.

There are so few used book stores around anymore that this is a real gem. Originally dealing with collector and rare editions when it opened, it now carries thousands of books of all types.
The sci-fi section is particularly large and noteworthy, but there are also many classics, poetry, mysteries, plays and everything else. They even have sheet music available.

Prices vary from excellent... more

I can't help but spend nearly an hour looking around this place every time I go. It's a great bookstore and the staff are very helpful. I will keep going here for sure.

When I am looking for classic literature in hardcover or paper, or biography and history I often come here. It's a big space on two floors and the stock is impressive (they have a warehouse as well, so ask about this if you don't see your title on the shelves). I probably buy 10-20 books here in a year. The owners are always helpful.

It's a long story, and I'll spare you the gory details, but I'll say that I was left deeply... more

It's true the Book Bazaar offers many rare editions of titles from many literary eras. They have a great selection of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and a children's section downstairs. They also have a small selection of popular paperbacks by the usual authors you could find in droves at other used book stores, but for higher prices. Actually, the prices here are somewhat steep. There isn't a... more

The Book Bazaar has such a plethora of works in classic literature and historical non-fiction, it is an absolute haven for anyone interested in these subjects.

A quiet, charming place on an otherwise bustling Bank Street, this store has titles on a wide range of selections for adult reading ( I did not see much children or adolescent titles), but focuses especially on classic authors such as... more

My wife and I are avid readers - especially my wife. She devours a book every two days. That makes reading a potentially expensive hobby. We decided to give up on new books (the US and Canadian dollars were at par and yet the exact same books were 40% higher in price in Canada than they were south of the border!!!). We found the Book Bazaar one afternoon as we strolled along what is known as... more
