I go to this bookstore about once a month, and I always leave with great books. The vibe of this…read morestore is perfect for bookish introverts like myself, and I hate seeing this other comment from almost 10 years ago giving this wonderful store 2 stars because they don't like the owner's vibe? Get over yourself, Hamilton is lucky to have a used bookseller downtown with such excellent taste and such a well curated (and well priced) selection.

Always something fantastic on the shelves! I found a gorgeous vintage set of "Mastering the Art of…read moreFrench Cooking" which I'd been looking for for ages.

I absolutely love this bookshop. (and I'm not in San Francisco, I'm a local.)

It's a wonderful place to hang out and find books you were looking for, or ones that you didn't know that you wanted. He also takes books in store credit, and when you have done with your old ones, trade 'em for less old ones.

I've gone to this store for many years. It's always convenient to browse the many books and…read moremagazines they have in stock. The place is very clean and tidy. Now as Indigo, it has an even fresher appearance! Lots of parking in the lot out front. I just don't like the front door handle that is oddly shaped and difficult to grab. It doesn't even look like a door handle!

I enjoy shopping at this bookstore. The store has a variety of books and magazines as well as home…read moredecor. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a bald and short man who spends hours in Starbucks every evening until the store is closing. He often takes magazines and books from Indigo without paying. Not sure if Indigo staff realize that or not. The last time I saw him doing this was on July 27, 2023 around 6 to 7 pm. Indigo may need to review recorded surveillance camera footage and transaction record during that time.

Great selection and value. Books arrived quickly and in good condition. The lady who runs the shop…read morewas very friendly. I will definitely be shopping here again!

The guys working there seem nice enough, and offered to help when we walking in. The store is on Kenwood and Lakeshore. There is sufficient parking, as well.

While visiting Burlington from the states I had finished my book on the plane. I Have to have a…read morebook at all times and we found Different Drummer Bookstore! So wonderful to find an independent bookstore that cares and has quality books I could have stayed in the young adult nook with its cozy corners and soft spaces most of the day or been content to browse and enjoy the store to my hearts content ! What a joyful find The wonderful people in the store were so kind and thoughtful I wish we lived in Burlington!

After having some interaction with stores like Chapter, Indigo and Coles with the Plum membership…read moregot a decision to try some other store too. Different Drummer Books looks right as well as the other 3 with pictures and great titles. The name is well place and the location is not too bad also.
