I dropped by here during their Black Friday sale period since one of the books that I was…read moreinterested in showed up as being 30% off on their website. However, on their website, it mentions that prices may vary in the store which is "fine". Since I was downtown, I decided to drop by this store as opposed to my usual Indigo store that I visit (in Pointe-Claire). I looked for the book that I wanted to buy (The updated Wealthy Barber) and because it was on special on the website for 30% off, I wasn't sure if it would be located in the ground floor where they have tables with books on sale or in the personal finance shelves. I went to the personal finance shelve/section but couldn't find it. An employee noticed that I was having problems trying to find a book and asked me in French if I needed help. I answered in English and I know that French is the official language in Quebec but the employee spoke to me in French and based on his accent, I don't believe that he spoke English which I find strange since I would say that over 60% of the books are in English in Indigo and while Indigo does sell French books, the majority of their books appear to be English. I replied to him in French and told him which book I was looking for. He asked me what type of book it was and I told him that it was a personal finance book and I brought him to the aisle/shelf where I looked. He also couldn't find it so he asked another employee for help. I told her the name of the book I was looking for and she keyed it into her cellphone and said it was a personal finance or economics book. I showed her where I looked and mentioned that on their website, it shows that it is 30% off so I wasn't sure if it would be on the shelf or on one of the tables with the books on special. She called someone and I guess they told her that it was on the side of the shelf and that's where there were about 20 copies of the book. Some of the books had a sticker on it which said 20% off and some of the books didn't. She took one of the books without the sticker and handed it to me and then went to help another customer. I wasn't sure what the price would be given that my copy of the book didn't have a 20% off sticker and Indigo's website showed 30% off but also had a disclaimer that indicated "prices may vary in the store" so I asked the French speaking employee what the price for the book is. I've purchased books before so I know that books generally have their price printed as part of the cover. He took my book and looked and then pointed to the price. I then told him that the website shows 30% off, this book doesn't show any discount, and showed him some of the same book where there was a sticker on the book showing 20% off. He went to another employee working the aisles and I asked him if he could tell me what the price of this book is and he then turned the book over and said "the price is here". I then told him the same thing which is some copies of this book have a 20% off sticker on them, my copy of the book doesn't, and the Indigo website indicates that this book is 30% off online. He then told me that the price doesn't always match the website price and this is normal. I told him that I was aware of this and just wanted to know what the price of the book is since if it was regular price (or 20% off), I wouldn't buy it today and would buy it online. He told me to line up at the cash register and ask the people working there to scan it. I waited in line (there were about 15 people in front of me and 3 cash registers open). After about 3 minutes standing in line, I finally spoke with one of the employees manning the cash register. I asked her if she could tell me the price of the book and she did the same thing as the other employees which was to turn to the back cover and show me the price printed on the book's cover. I then told her that online, the price shows up as 30% off and on the shelf, there were some copies of this book with 20% off stickers on the book. She told me that the online price isn't always the same price as the in store price and I told her that I know this based on the disclaimer on the website and I just want to know what the price is since if it wasn't 30% off, I would just buy it online. She scanned the book and then told me that it was 30% off and I then told her that I would buy it. She told me the price (including tax) and I told her that I had a Plum card. She said okay and I showed it to her on my phone which she scanned. There should have been a way for me to find the correct price of the book without having to stand in line to "buy" the book and having each employee I asked about the price show me the price on the book's back cover like I've never bought a book in my life was somewhat insulting. If the book wasn't 30% off in store, it would have meant lining up in the line to buy the book for nothing since I would have just left the book there and bought it online.

The bookstore is huge and has an impressive selection of books across all kinds of genres. There's…read morealso a big section of staff picks, which I really enjoyed browsing--it made it easier to discover interesting titles I might not have found on my own. It's easy to lose track of time wandering through the shelves; I could easily spend the whole day there. The space feels welcoming and well-organized, making it a great spot for book lovers to explore and relax.

In an age of GPS and Google maps, I was truly surprised to find this place. And, truly delighted!…read moreImagine, an entire store dedicated to the international traveler, filled with books and maps detailing every worldwide destination you're thinking of exploring. 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.

Our favorite bookstore in NDG continues to hold that title. We brought some books in, donated what…read morethey wouldn't make use of, and spent far too long roaming and acquiring books. I'm always impressed by the variety. You see something new every time you go in because they offer such an impressive collection of items. We even got hockey cards for surprise gifts for family this time around! Some items are more expensive but we got an edition of The Wizard of Oz that was still wrapped and originally worth quite the pretty penny that we will be gifting to a loved one. It was an amazing experience once again today. For the first time, I think I spent more time looking at their prints and I wanted to buy nearly every Singin' In The Rain one... Hardy Boys galore... it was overall just a lot of fun to visit this store. We'll be back for our quarterly visit in no time.

If you live in the area and listen to vinyl records, you should come in here regularly…read more They have a section of newly acquired records, so once you've browsed their full catalogue thoroughly, it's easy to drop in whenever you're walking by and see what's new. They have lots of records for 5 bucks, which is something like an old movie rental price. Even if I only listen to something once, the experience is worth 5 bucks. They also have way more expensive records, like limited editions of Tom Waits or whatever, which occasionally run closer to a hundred. So there's a huge range, if you're looking to spending a tiny bit of pocket money, or if you're looking to make a major investment for your collection. They also have books. I honestly use the library for books more than buying them, but sometime when I'm in here for vinyls, something on the bookshelf catches my eye, and the prices are fair. It is packed, though. Sometimes where there are a lot of customers, it is very hard to move around and look for things. So much stuff in a such a small space is a double-edged sword. This 5-star review is for my visits outside of peak times, for the selection, service, and price. During peak times, maybe only worth 4 stars because it's so hard to navigate. But the popularity is a sign of the quality, so it's hard to quibble with that.

I simply asked a staff member if I could get back the copy I left for them to look at for consignation and as the clerk went on to get my book from the bookstore's manager office, Andres (bookstore manager) just dropped it as if it were garbage to his employee who then gave it back to me. I could see it from the clerk's desk as he began walking up the stairs to the office and caught my book from above. He gave the book back to me and I left without saying a word. I felt very enraged at this but thank god the book was still in a very good condition as the staff member caught it. (I can't imagine how madder I would have got if he had dropped it on the floor). It just tells you how much disrespect Andres has for not even coming down from his office and give the book back in person. Having worked very hard on this piece for over a year I thought they would have paid a little more respect to the product itself than just treat it as as a piece of shit. Very poor handling of artists' work. Very bad service.
