Came here on Black Friday because my friend needed to pick up souvenirs. We were looking for cookbooks, forest books and other science books. Well we also bought non books items like, pop toy (Harry Potter),a big blanket and other things. The Chapter here is huge. The best part is that its located at Metrotown and so there are plenty of parking. Chapter is trying to be a one stop shopping designation now.

I like this location because there is a Starbucks inside the store. I also like the selection of goods this store offers. I occasionally buy gift items here such as blankets, toys and teas.

Usually walk into Chapters to grab starbucks but they have some pretty good stuff near their cashier area. I bought a Torpedo Screwdriver set to fix watches and sunglasses for $10 which I thought was a pretty good deal. It's pretty quiet in here, they've got tons of novelty items and even women's accessories. my gf likes to look at the different winter scarves/gloves they have on the front table too. I saw a giant black and silver globe that I wanted to get. Service is pretty slow at the cash desk but that's usually because there's only 1 or 2 people working. Good place to sit for a coffee after mall hours I think they open a little later than teh rest of the mall

Indigo chapters at Metrotown

Although the prices are high but it's the go to place when bringing visitors around vancouver since it has a lot of essential books and maps. It's located in the core mall of British Columbia - Metrotown. Many books to choose and can stay all day . Really find this store interesting and at the mall. So convenient

I went into this Chapters location at the Metropolis and found the place very big with a full size Starbucks inside. Seems that this location had more gifts and stationery products than other bookstores I have been to. I mean they even have leather handbag and accessories. They still have a good selection of books to browse through and my favorite discounted sale book section.

This Chapter(Indigo) is very big. It has wide rages selection of books, toys, tea, tea accessories etc It also have a Starbucks inside:)

Expensive but useful books for my friend

I went to this branch of chapters an hour ago to pickup two ielts books for my friend. I also wanted to get a Vietnamese language book that the in store computer said was available. I couldnt find the book so I asked a staff member. She went above and beyond the call of duty, which is helped me check four different likely sections of the store for it. Alas, it was not available. Then when I was walking to the cashier to pay for my other books, I ran into the same lady that helped me a few minutes before. She said sorry and that she'll be thinking of that book a while since she rarely can't find something customers want.

Buy Walter Mosley books he rocks!

See all

Downtown

MacLeod's Books is a used book store that has been around forever (50 years according to an article…read morea couple of years ago). The store is crammed with piles of books and it looks like a disorganized mess. I've always wondered how they have survived, but there are always people in the store whenever I have gone in, so business must be steady. I first started reading Stephen King over 30 years ago, and have been reading his books on and off for the last three decades. I have recently gotten back into regularly reading his books, and I have decided to read the books I had never read before (for example, I recently finished reading 'Salem's Lot and The Shining), as well as re-read the books I have read, some of which I have only read once, 25 to 30 years ago (such as The Green Mile and his collection, Different Seasons). One of the first few Stephen King books I read 30 years ago was The Bachman Books. For those of you who don't know, early on in his career, Stephen King published five novels under the pseudonym Richard Bachman: Rage (1977), The Long walk (1979), Roadwork (1981), The Running Man (1982), and Thinner (1984). After it was discovered that Richard Bachman was Stephen King, the first four novels were published as a collection in 1985 known as "The Bachman Books". Rage is about a high school shooting, and King has asked that it no longer be published. Therefore The Bachman Books has become a collector's item, and King fans are always on the lookout for a copy in a used bookstore. In November 2024, I came very close to getting a copy. There is a local bookstore that sells used and new books, and I went to their website to see what Stephen King books they had in stock. I was surprised to discover that they had a copy of The Bachman Books on sale for $11! I ordered it, but ten minutes later the store called saying that unfortunately they had just sold the book that morning, after having had it in stock for several years. So close. For months, every so often, I would pop into MacLeod's Books when I was passing by, hoping to find that elusive copy of The Bachman Books. Despite never finding it (but one can hope!), MacLeod's has one of the best Stephen King collections. Their stock is always changing from one week to the next, so even if I had just been in the previous week, it was worth stopping in again. Sometimes there wasn't anything I was interested in, and sometimes I would walk out with a book or two. I've purchased several Stephen King books from MacLeod's over the past few months. A couple of weeks ago, I was running errands after work and was debating whether or not to stop in, as I would have to go a few blocks out of my way and I had been in about a week and a half prior. But I thought to myself, "What if this is the day they finally have it, and I decide not to go?" After carefully examining the Stephen King stock to be sure I didn't miss anything, I looked at the small pile of assorted books near the Stephen King section, and under several books I spied a familiar red spine. I HAD FOUND IT! I picked up the book and the store owner came up to me and said, "Hold on, I haven't priced these yet, I am in the process of putting out this new stock." I said, "I really really want this...." And he said, "It's a collector's item." Concerned, I responded, "I know... I'll pay you... $50..." He said, "Hmmm.... well, it IS a collector's item.... I'll sell it to you for... $15." Yes, only $15! I couldn't believe it! The store owner knew how valuable this book was and knew I was willing to pay $50, but he only charged me $15 (as opposed to $5 to $10 that he normally charges for pocket books). I finally have a copy of The Bachman Books! [Yelp collections: Libraries and Bookstores]

After having spoken to manager/owner of the store about what books they might like - I was in the…read moreprocess of downsizing - I carefully culled my books for them, brought them to a very busy intersection downtown Vancouver, where he met me with a trolley and boxes. He quickly went through my boxes of books, taking what he wanted, which was most of them, and paid me then and there. Pretty easy. When I told my son, who now lives in Britain, he said, 'well, they are the best secondhand store in the Vancouver area. I've been there many times.' My husband told me that when he was hunting for books on "The Raj' a few years ago, he was led right to them in the store. So all round, a winner, I'd say.
