Everything you could wish for from a second hand bookstore! A nice owner, a cute cat, a large selection that is clearly categorized by genre, and clear and fair pricing. A true gem on the Island

Was able to trade book I had read/ no longer needed for other books and it was so much fun. Amazing deals on books, Super knowledgeable and friendly. Wish I had known about this place sooner.
Want to add to this post from 6 years ago. Went back recently even though I live far away. Was treated with extreme kindness and care as I searched for books for my classroom. This is my favorite place to bring people who love books.

upholds all the best qualities of second hand book shops - a shopkeeper with fantastic taste, a book-shop cat (friendly, but, you know, hard at work running a book shop). Always a book that you didn't know you wanted but now seem to need... also a small section of miniature books (as book lovers love nothing more then a very small book). Great sections on island history, fiction, science, kids books and fantasy (likely great sections on other subjects, but these are where I look.

A wonderful used bookshop with a great stock (excellent sections on history, Canadiana, BC studies, and adventure/travel writing, among others) at affordable prices. The owner is most friendly and helpful, and his cat is a darling! Well worth the trip to Courtenay if you’re travelling on the Island.
