I purchased 11 N64 games and not only did he give me a % off but he also threw in a few games for me to try (that were out of my normal genre of game play). All the games were in great condition, they all work and they were all a fair price. Great store. Great prices. I will definitely be back in the near future!!!

There arent enough kind words…read morefor this shop and its staff, everyone is super kind and polite and the collection on hand is beyond amazing. I've purchased about 40 games and controllers from them, had a few consoles repaired and gotten really good video game tips. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, you can ask anyone around you for anything you can think of and they will help sort you out. You won't find a better value to dollar ratio, I can't begin to tell you the number of deals I've been given or that the pricing is often better than price charting. If you want fair pricing, great service and youve got time to roam in the thousands of games they have, than this is your place. I havent had a single issue once, after about 7 months of purchases from them. 9003/10, will always shop again, the new owner rocks

Lots of books, all different genres, clearly labeled, mostly used, some new. Staff here is friendly and eager to help if you need assistance finding a book or recommendation. The prices seemed fair to me, as well. I love this kind of store. We don't have one like it anymore where I'm from, so it was especially nice to stop by and check it out while I was in Kitchener.

I stopped at A Second Look Bookstore with no intention of going in, but they had placed a table…read morewith books outside the store and I decided to take a look. Two books caught my attention and I went into the store to pay for them. After I payed for them, I decided to look around the store. it has a lovely vibe to it and today there were many people browsing and children sitting on the floor reading. I returned to the clerk and asked if they had a selection of books in other languages and she took me to where they were. I ended up buying 12 children's books in the German language. They almost looked new and the price was very reasonable. Since I had walked downtown and couldn't carry all of these books I asked if they could hold them while I got my car. When I returned there were some new titles on the table outside the store and another title caught my eye. I went into the store to collect my books and pay for the one I had just selected. the owner, Charles, asked how he could help and I told him I wanted to purchase the book. Hr looked at me with my stash of books, took one look at the book in my hand and said I could just take it. I insisted on paying for it, but he would have none of it. Will I go back, and recommend this bookstore to others? Of course! The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and the atmosphere in the store is very cozy and welcoming. Parking can be a problem in downtown Kitchener on a busy day. But if you are willing to walk a few blocks, you can always find free parking on some side streets or in Victoria Park. And if you ask the staff, they even have some tips on where to park, if you buy too many books to carry a distance back to your car. Stopping by the store will be worth your while.
