Or maybe you just want to giggle at the funny posters and dusty wacky toys hidden in the store. Surprisingly, there is a bit of organization amidst the chaos and books are categorized in sections and separated from other stuff. I've found some pretty great stuff in the poetry / essays area. Check out the art and photography section - you might find a great tabletop book. If you're waiting for a table at any of the restaurants around the corner it's worth stopping into and the building is incredibly beautiful and old if you can get past the dust and paper. Good luck finding something!

Even from the street view, there are nice welcoming displays in the window, and as soon as you open the door, you are greeted with that wonderful familiar old-book smell (in the best way possible!). There is a carefully curated section for basically any genre you can think of (Icelandic books or antique sheet music, anyone?) organized meticulously, peppered with unique and interesting decor. The books we were looking at (general fiction/literature trade paperbacks) were priced between $7-10/book. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, rounding out the excellent experience. I can't say enough good things about Bison Books, Absolute Must for Winnipeg book lovers!

We always make our best offer, first, since it is important to us to be fair, honest, and forthright. We want to treat you fairly, so that you always bring your books to us, first.
