This is quite the bookstore! Love how expansive it is, that they have a coffee shop, and even a…read morelive piano player while you browse books. I liked how they seperated their top hits on the first floor, they had a great curated selection of books. I also really loved the children's section. It was a huge and beautifully done. I liked their curated back to school section of books as well as other retail things. Overall a lovely bookstore to wander around in.

I loved this place to shop for books. However, I had a recent experience that put me off…read more I came to sell about 50 books that are in very good condition and quite popular, but most were turned down. Even when I said I wasn't necessarily looking to make money, just donate to a place I like, they told me that taking my books would "burden" them... Even though that's what this place is for, selling and buying used books! I went to a bookstore further up Mont-Royal who took them. I certainly understand that they couldn't take all of them depending on the value, but it was really their dismissive and quite rude attitude that took me off guard. Not sure I'll shop there again, unfortunately.

My review is really based on vinyl records as that's what lured me in. The shop is very clean and neatly organized. They had some nice new arrivals plus several bins of rock, jazz, classical, and whatever else in between. I found one record I wanted, but a few others I already had that I otherwise would have grabbed. Prices were pretty fair. They also carried CDs, but no cassettes. Of course they have lots of books and nice area to sit and relax. Cool spot worth checking out for a little browsing.

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.

My Montreal staple, first place I go when in town. Well second, I first get coffee. But this place…read moreis for sure second. I once got a skid row tape there in like 2015, but today I just dug around a little bit and found a Montreal doom metal album, and a Canadian press of Days of Future's Past. Sick.

There's several sections labeled discretly, such as history, fiction, youth, even Japanese! There's also a neat 5$ clearance area in the back. Book browsing is defininely a timeless passtime, and I hope many can find a moment to indulge in it (especially with all the stress around us these days). For example, I found an absolutely gorgeous edition of The Divine Comedy (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) that made my wallet itch! Do take a minute to enter Argo and look for your own Golden Fleece!
