Or maybe you just want to giggle at the funny posters and dusty wacky toys hidden in the store. Surprisingly, there is a bit of organization amidst the chaos and books are categorized in sections and separated from other stuff. I've found some pretty great stuff in the poetry / essays area. Check out the art and photography section - you might find a great tabletop book. If you're waiting for a table at any of the restaurants around the corner it's worth stopping into and the building is incredibly beautiful and old if you can get past the dust and paper. Good luck finding something!

This place sells Halfmoon's meditation cushions or zafus which are made in Canada and filled with buckwheat. They sell the various shapes of meditation cushions for the same price as the website in a variety of colours and patterns. Basically anything you can find in a yoga / meditation studio from the chimes, Himalayan salt lamps, incense, cushions, mats and of course books are sold here. The owner is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the products.

We were worried that we might lose out on some value but they were very clear about what they were seeking, which items were noteworthy, how much they would pay, and importantly for us...why. Highly recommend them if you're selling books in the GTA.

When I was a Winnipegger, I frequented bookstores more regularly than I do now. Back then, it was…read moreChapters and McNally Robinson. I had two favourite Chapters stores. Both are still there, but are under the Indigo name. The one store at Polo Festival in St. James, which used to be steps away from the old Winnipeg Stadium, was one of my favourites. The other was this store in St. Vital Centre. It's an Indigo now. It still has that cozy feel of taking a few books, finding a cozy place to sit down and reading parts of them before deciding whether I wanted to commit to buying them. It also has a Starbucks cafe in the store. Back then, I rarely bought anything there. I can see myself doing it now, especially spending time on my phone and using the free wifi offered in the store. This bookstore is right outside the food court. You technically can grab a drink and food if nothing at Starbucks interests you. I came here to browse. I also wanted to see if I could get a gift and a birthday card for my friend. There was a plushie sale. I didn't get any, but the plushies were cute. This store always features books by Manitobans. One book, mmm... Manitoba, caught my attention. I didn't get it, but it's a book that I'd like to read and possibly buy. It shares stories about the foods that Manitobans eat. I will need to revisit it. I did find a card for my friend. I spent a while finding the perfect card for her. The card selection at Indigo never disappoints. However, some cards can be expensive. I found one going for $19. Yikes! I like the sales items. I saw mugs, reading socks, and more that were all discounted. I got a gift and a birthday card for my friend from this store. I went to pay for it and chatted with a friendly woman at the checkout. I got my Indigo rewards barcode scanned. I then paid for my items with a credit card. All was great. The woman asked if I needed a bag. My items were so small that they fit in my existing bag. I thanked her and left. Although I didn't spend as much time in this store as I used to when I lived in this city, it still felt cozy and familiar. I still love this store. I'm happy that it's still around. (312)
