I highly recommend checking this place out because they are a really great local find. I am definitely going to go back!

The Bookstore on Perron is no exception in the charm department, nor in the excellent customer service. They also are a highly responsive source for local books, including the popular Pure Prairie Eating Plan. Is there any better browsing place than a bookstore? Not for me! In addition, there are lots of little gift ideas for both adults and children - I can never leave without finding at least one treasure that begs to go home with me. Check out their Facebook page, like it, and stay up to date with new arrivals and gift ideas - https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bookstore-On-Perron-Street/207418552634735 Or check out their online storefront: http://bookstoreonperron.com I really appreciate their extensive category searches, where you can immediately find the book you're seeking, or use the browse feature.

And anyplace that sells books makes me happy! Especially such a charming little shop. The black and white tile floors and bright pops of funky yellow in the chairs and decor really make it a cheerful place (which will go far in these freezing Edmonton winters!) The owner, Brandi, is a delight, and we had a lovely conversation. I bought 3 books, and planning on donating some I need to pass on to a new home. Definitely come and check out the new little indie on the block!

I do not believe this kind of content needs to be front and center, and I hope the store will reconsider how they display such materials.

My recent visit was on the hunt for the elusive Shopkins which they had just received a whole shipment of AND they had a B3G1 Free sale! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. I cannot believe Shopkins were included but they were so we bought a whole whackload! Also picked up a bunch of cute thank you gifts and some clearance items for a rainy day. We were offered assistance by staff members no less than three times on our hour long recent visit and I had initially phoned to see if they had Shopkins in stock and if they were part of the sale. EXCELLENT customer service all around. What I don't like? CANADIAN book prices!!! But I can't really blame Chapters for that. Normally, I'd give 4 stars for this sort of place but the excellent customer service and beautiful kiddo zone left me all smiles even if my pocketbooks was $150 lighter. Thanks Chapters, and see you soon! PS - There is a Starbucks inside and the SOFTEST stuffed animals you will ever hug in the baby/gift area called "Jellycat."

There isn't as much selection, but there's still little delights to grab for stocking stuffers and cute little gifts. There's the ever present mini books, but I really liked the environmental conscious 'Grow Me Money Plant' as well as other plants and flowers in a cube. Need stocking stuffers for the man who hates everything? I picked up a little contraption for the husband. You push buttons, and it gives various sound effects. There was another type available, but it only made increasingly obnoxious farting sounds. Maybe I should get him that one too. Score of the day was the $25.00 'Starfinder--The Complete Beginner's Guide to Exploring the Night Sky.' It came with it's own planisphere disk. I'm sure I'll be back again before Christmas.

The store was a happenin' place to be since the place was packed with shoppers. I really don't like to shop so I'm a list maker. I go in, get what I want and get out. I had a list of four books to locate before I had a panic attack. James, a Coles employee, was my hero. He located three out of the four books on my list... I was able to find the last one on my own using the computer for directions. The staff was great and I would totally go back to do my book shopping and I suggest you do the same.

The computers and other Apple items are discounted for student, so that is cool. In my first year, I was naive enough to think that the College bookstore would offer the best possible prices on textbooks, but I was way wrong. I later discovered Amazon.ca, where I got many textbooks and novels for a lot cheaper. MacEwan's bookstore also sells used textbooks, and this is a good option, but I've often found the brand new versions on Amazon for the same price. The bookstore will also buy your books back at beginning of each semester, but they give you so little back, it's almost not worth it at all. I'd suggest trying to sell it to a student directly using the Used Textbook Registry. Most of the gift items at MacEwan's bookstore are pretty expensive, but they will often have sales. I've found some nice stuff though, like I bought my friend an eyeglass cleaning cloth that had a picture of a famous painting on it: very cool. I've b ought quite a few MacEwan brand items, like a keychain, a mug, and a shoulder bag. I guess I just want lots of things to remind me that I did indeed go to College.

They also have a great selection of school supplies, MacEwan clothing, mugs, ipods etc. They also have some really beautiful journals, stationary and pens. My one complaint about this store is the staff. I have found that they are not very helpful or knowledgeable and that can be very frustrating when you are a student, frantically looking for a certain textbook. I have been told by a staff member that they have a book, and then found out they didn't have it, and the opposite has also happened. Like the other reviewer said, you can save a lot of money by buying texts and novels on Amazon. Just be prepared to wait and then spend a good chunk of time catching up on the readings you missed while you were waiting for your books to be shipped.
