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. Great shop, great bunch of people working there, talking music. Have a lot of new vinyl as well. Some guy giving them low stars for parking, like maybe yelp the street instead.

They have magazines, all the current books, some gently used books , bookmarks, cute little goodies and AN ENTIRE CORNER DEDICATED TO ALL THINGS LOUISE PENNY How awesome is that???!!! You don't have to be an LP fan to enjoy this cozy little bookstore and if you're French-Canadien il y a des livres en français et les propriétaires parlent en français aussi. Across the street are three pine trees which were recently replanted. It's a lovely spot and the area has become a haven for Penny lovers from all over. Are you excited yet??!!

I love bookstores, and worry that e-books may make them vanish. If you're looking for new books, along with some Inspector Gamache goodies, like mugs, totes, and shirts, this is a fine spot for you. I'm fonder of used bookstores, and was kind of expecting that (solely based on my imagination and the articles talking about the inspiration for the literary bookstore), so perhaps I didn't do the place justice.
