I love my local bookstore…read more They have a mix of new and used books and you never know what you are going to find. The owner is really good at special orders and can usually hunt down a copy of any book you are looking for. It is small but has good variety. And indy bookstores are hard to find these days!

I've been coming to Odyssey for years and it's never a quick visit! There is so much to look at…read morebetween the two stores, I'm usually always browsing for awhile. The main store carries books, jewellery, stones, incense, incense holders, various cards for readings... the list goes on and on... while the second store not only has more books but also home decor items and clothing. You can visit their website to find out about all the classes and sessions that are available - I've attended a few and have found them to be informative and enlightening. Over all, Odyssey is a peaceful place to be and I have introduced MANY friends to the wonders that can be found here.

The Book Wardrobe is a small independent bookstore located in a historical building in…read moreStreetsville. On entering the building, follow a beautifully carved wood railing, up to the 2nd floor. The bookstore fills a studio with an assortment of thoughtfully displayed books and tasteful gifts. They have a cute kids section too. What a gem of a place to pick up a wonderful book for yourself or a special person! The owner was friendly and excited to offer book recommendations. They have a small curated stock but also take book orders for pick up. She mentioned since covid, there is sometimes a shipping delay. I appreciate how honest and upfront she was about orders. Street parking is metered but the small side streets are not.

Cute...honestly this was the first words that came out of my mouth the second I walked in!…read more This cute little book shop is located in Streetsville on a second floor of a very vintage old style house. There is a Tea Room on the first floor along with a couple other shops. There isn't a ton of books readily available but reasonable for the boutiqueness of it. I was looking for a particular book for my niece for Christmas and much to my dismay I was unable to locate it at any of the big box stores. So after doing a quick Google search I found this book boutique. I inquired via email to see if they had it and they were able to order it for me- no payment down might I add. Fantastic! I picked up my book (no extra charge!) And made a little girl very happy! From what I was told they've only been there since Sep 2017, and I certain hope they stick around! As a book lover, especially actual books not screens, 5/5!

The store is very big, very spacious and gave a very cozy, relaxing vibe. I like the whole layout and decor. Besides from books, they also sell other stuff like clothing, accessories hats and mittens, gift wrap, cards, puzzles etc. There's a Starbucks connected to it which is great, very convenient if you wanted to grab a drink or a bite. The products are well organized. It didn't take too long for me to pick up my order, service was excellent.

This is a Yelp find. The man working here is amazing. So helpful…read more We wandered in with an extensive reading list for an AP course that my teenager is taking. The teacher did not provide any of the author's names. The kindly proprietor listened to the name of the book, then he rhymes off the author and looked together with us in the right place in this adorable crammed to the brim shop. We found most of what we wanted at a fraction of the cost of new. Some of the books were adorably aged. We will definitely return at a later date. Amazing service, great shop.

It is great if you are looking for some popular old novels, like a whole series of Stephen King books, or Black Daggers Brotherhood. I bought a few paperback at $4 each. I am told they will take your used books and give credits. They only accept paperback as hardcover takes up too much space. I can understand that. I plan to bypass hardcover novels from now on, so my collection has resale value.
