I dropped by here during their Black Friday sale period since one of the books that I was…read moreinterested in showed up as being 30% off on their website. However, on their website, it mentions that prices may vary in the store which is "fine". Since I was downtown, I decided to drop by this store as opposed to my usual Indigo store that I visit (in Pointe-Claire). I looked for the book that I wanted to buy (The updated Wealthy Barber) and because it was on special on the website for 30% off, I wasn't sure if it would be located in the ground floor where they have tables with books on sale or in the personal finance shelves. I went to the personal finance shelve/section but couldn't find it. An employee noticed that I was having problems trying to find a book and asked me in French if I needed help. I answered in English and I know that French is the official language in Quebec but the employee spoke to me in French and based on his accent, I don't believe that he spoke English which I find strange since I would say that over 60% of the books are in English in Indigo and while Indigo does sell French books, the majority of their books appear to be English. I replied to him in French and told him which book I was looking for. He asked me what type of book it was and I told him that it was a personal finance book and I brought him to the aisle/shelf where I looked. He also couldn't find it so he asked another employee for help. I told her the name of the book I was looking for and she keyed it into her cellphone and said it was a personal finance or economics book. I showed her where I looked and mentioned that on their website, it shows that it is 30% off so I wasn't sure if it would be on the shelf or on one of the tables with the books on special. She called someone and I guess they told her that it was on the side of the shelf and that's where there were about 20 copies of the book. Some of the books had a sticker on it which said 20% off and some of the books didn't. She took one of the books without the sticker and handed it to me and then went to help another customer. I wasn't sure what the price would be given that my copy of the book didn't have a 20% off sticker and Indigo's website showed 30% off but also had a disclaimer that indicated "prices may vary in the store" so I asked the French speaking employee what the price for the book is. I've purchased books before so I know that books generally have their price printed as part of the cover. He took my book and looked and then pointed to the price. I then told him that the website shows 30% off, this book doesn't show any discount, and showed him some of the same book where there was a sticker on the book showing 20% off. He went to another employee working the aisles and I asked him if he could tell me what the price of this book is and he then turned the book over and said "the price is here". I then told him the same thing which is some copies of this book have a 20% off sticker on them, my copy of the book doesn't, and the Indigo website indicates that this book is 30% off online. He then told me that the price doesn't always match the website price and this is normal. I told him that I was aware of this and just wanted to know what the price of the book is since if it was regular price (or 20% off), I wouldn't buy it today and would buy it online. He told me to line up at the cash register and ask the people working there to scan it. I waited in line (there were about 15 people in front of me and 3 cash registers open). After about 3 minutes standing in line, I finally spoke with one of the employees manning the cash register. I asked her if she could tell me the price of the book and she did the same thing as the other employees which was to turn to the back cover and show me the price printed on the book's cover. I then told her that online, the price shows up as 30% off and on the shelf, there were some copies of this book with 20% off stickers on the book. She told me that the online price isn't always the same price as the in store price and I told her that I know this based on the disclaimer on the website and I just want to know what the price is since if it wasn't 30% off, I would just buy it online. She scanned the book and then told me that it was 30% off and I then told her that I would buy it. She told me the price (including tax) and I told her that I had a Plum card. She said okay and I showed it to her on my phone which she scanned. There should have been a way for me to find the correct price of the book without having to stand in line to "buy" the book and having each employee I asked about the price show me the price on the book's back cover like I've never bought a book in my life was somewhat insulting. If the book wasn't 30% off in store, it would have meant lining up in the line to buy the book for nothing since I would have just left the book there and bought it online.

GRRREeat second-hand used book store! I came here over the…read moreweekend looking for a few titles after having consulted the usedbookcircle.com website. The thing with second hand bookstores, they can either be in a state of complete chaos, where the book title you're looking for *may* be there but because nothing is organized, you may miss it altogether OR the bookstore can be so meticulously and methodically well-organized that you end up walking out with some book titles you weren't even looking for in the first place. This is what happened to me at Beazley Books located in the quaint and picturesque Pointe-Claire village. The owner was also very nice and seemed to know quite a bit about the writers I picked up. Yeah, I know it's the West Island, but the distance is a lot longer in your head than it really is. I actually timed myself and found that I was there in 30 minutes flat from Lionel Groulx metro on the weekend. It's definitely worth a visit. While you're here you can browse the other many cute little shops, and grab some lunch at the local cafe

For example, I found an absolutely gorgeous edition of The Divine Comedy (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) that made my wallet itch!

I scored a 1000 piece puzzle for 4$!! The first floor is mainly kitchen stuff, stationary, CDS/DVDS, and the hottest books of the moment. The second floor is adult books. The third floor is toys and kids books. I don't read much in French, so I often skip the second floor. But the third floor is so fascinating. They have so many puzzles and new board games, I love browsing. They have a tiny section of YA books in english, it will mostly be the popular titles. I love it here. It's so cozy and inviting. I wish they had some small areas where you could sit and enjoy basking in the glory of their products, but I probably wouldn't buy anything if that was the case. It is next to a Starbucks so once you've bought something, you can go grab a coffee and start reading!

There's something that feels so grounding and wondrous about unfolding a brand new map and spreading it out across a table, a floor, a bed or whatever spot is big enough, so that you can see all of your options in huge format at once. Staring at a tiny smartphone screen just does NOT compare. It's like being able to see your feet on the new terrain before you get there. And, remember: fold-out maps don't run out of battery. The last time I decided to drive across the continent from east coast to west coast, I had a hella time trying to find a paper map anywhere! Gas stations might carry maps of the local town or city, but good luck tracking down a full continental map anywhere. You could order a world map or full map online, but those aren't road maps for tossing into your car's glove box and hitting the road with - those are fancy wall maps. This place, however, has a fold-out map of every country, neatly stacked in boxes on the floor like old vinyl records, and shelves and shelves of guide books to go along with them, if you want a guide book too. My future plans include another epic road trip throughout the continental US and Canada, and now that I've got the glorious fold-out map, I can start planning my routes with highlighter in hand. Feeling adventurous? Check this place out for inspiration.
