Black squirrel is a used (with some new) and very carefully curated bookstore with two levels of exploring to do. At the front of the shop is an espresso bar that offers lots of tasty treats and alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. I got a oat milk cappuccino and a small chocolate mint cookie. The cookie was only 1$ and so tasty, like an elevated and adult girl guide cookie!! Excellent prices and kind service. This will be my new go to when I have some time in Ottawa South.

It does not have the two "extras" that make a bookstore perfect, in my estimation. Comfy chairs and a bathroom for patrons. There are no chairs at all for customers, and only the McDonalds down the street for a bathroom. It's a very nice bookstore - new books only - and they have an interesting and varied selection.

When my son and I travel, we always visit several bookstores. All Books was one of our choices on…read moreour trip to Ottawa, and it was our favorite. At first glance, it's a bit of a mess. It does have many stacks of books, and vertical stacks are not a convenience in a bookstore. Some of the stacks reach almost to the ceiling, so if you want to flip through - or even buy - a book midway or (heaven forbid) at the bottom of a stack, you are pretty much out of luck. Nonetheless, this used bookstore has an excellent selection, and the prices are fantastic. It was our favorite bookstore in Ottawa.

As such, it can be a bit overwhelming to browse through everything, since there's not a lot of room to move around. Regardless, if there's something you can look for, you can ask a staff member who'll probably know where it's located. It's a broad assortment of varying genres, and you might find something you didn't know you wanted. Found myself a bunch of nonfiction history books that I keep promising myself I would read. There's also a selection of books for display at the front of the store with a deal going on: usually "$5 each, 3 for $10". The only point of concern is security, as it seems fairly susceptible to theft.

Spent the weekend with my cousin, who is also a bibliophile like myself and he brought me here since he wanted to get a book for me (which he found almost immediately) .

But smells ok. Even a partial inventory online would be nice. Complete with suggested retail price. But the owner seems computer-averse. It is indeed a treasure trove, but buried treasure, moldering away in piles of trash. Everything there, except Harlequin romances. Putting the priced inventory online would possibly wipe out half the stock in a month. And would still leave the problem of finding the listed book in a random pile. The main issue for me is price. Some oddball oxidized third rate Sci Fi paperback is listed at $5. An old water-stained and crumpled 5 kg surgery textbook is $50, and took some ironing to make it readable. Service? Owner seems to know where everything is, and people seem to like the hunt. As for me, there was little parking space, and I got a $70 ticket. Read the signs! Patrols are frequent. In parting: come with an agenda, but browse. Be prepared to respectfully haggle. Dress down (easy for me) and mess up your hair. Dont rub the belly of the cat: he bites at that. He followed me out of the building onto the sidewalk. Let me know if he came back. Nearby Goat cafe is very natural and nice. Quiet, funky and calm. Dont miss it.
