I messaged them a few day before I went in and asked if they had some books by Shari Lapena and sure enough they did and they put them aside for me. for 3 books it was 11 dollars and that is an amazing value for books these days for sure. I will definitely be back when I have more time to look around more etc.

A friend of mine told me that this business is a rip off. I went into check what my books are being sold at. It turns out that two of my books were being sold at twenty and thirty dollars a piece.

I didn't have enough time…read more.. I wandered into Shelf Life Books too close to closing time. As I browsed the shelves, I quickly discovered that I was a special independent bookstore and felt a certainly literary nirvana that I had last experienced at Powell's Books in Portland. The selection was thoughtfully curated and was strong with the Canadian Author force. Around every corner was a new thought-provoking discovery and a desire to linger and explore further. Then it was time to go.... .....I'll be back.

Staff are very knowledgeable. I enjoy browsing the used books in the basement. They have a great…read morevariety of kids books. My partner was able to locate some used books here that we couldn't find at the library, or the waitlist was way too long. Most used books are in almost new condition. Some used books are as low as $8 per book which a great deal. There is no bathroom in the bookstore (my little one had to go!) staff informed us we could use the theatre bathroom (next door).

They have a great selection of both new and used books. When I asked about the title I was looking for, the staff member at the front quickly located it for me, which I really appreciated. They even have a bookstore kitty, which made the visit extra charming. Definitely worth a stop if you love books!

Mama Bear has been raving about a book that she wants to read, so naturally, I wanted to see if they had it in stock. There were two saleswomen working the store and they were friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I didn't know the title OR the author of the book, but I described it and one of the ladies knew exactly what I was talking about. I love when that happens. Excellent customer service, great selection and a convenient location. Any questions?

I was recently doing some birthday shopping for a friend and I knew that the one thing he'd…read moreappreciate more than anything else would be a gift bag full of books. Really? Yes. I headed over to Coles in T.D. Square and I must say: the service was *excellent*. The girl working the store was ouber helpful and she even gave me an added discount because of the number of books that I was buying! Despite the fact that T.D. Square is under major construction right now, I highly recommend that if you're in the market for some new books, you head over to this specific location. The service really sets them apart, and good service always goes hand in hand with a good review :)

To the Americans: Indigospirit is one of the banners for stores under Indigo Books & Music Inc., a…read moremajor (if not the largest) Canadian bookseller chain that also sells gifts and specialty toys. So basically their Barnes and Noble or Borders. But in this case/location, without the coffee shop. I've looked up Indigo bookstores since coming back and this is one of their smaller locations. Very small, but very pretty. The photos don't do them justice. There is, however, a boba place across the hallway. XD And this particular location is on the 1st floor of the CORE Shopping Centre. They have a door leading out onto 8th Avenue as well as the entrance leading into the mall itself. X3 The employees were very nice when I asked my questions, and I was super excited at the prices (considering conversion rates at the time). Most of their titles are the more current and popular ones, and there's even a section devoted to the titles popular on bookstagram. But also, MANGA! CORE Shopping Centre is definitely someplace you want to come to visit, explore, and hang out in. If you're visiting Calgary, I would definitely recommend visiting since it's so big, has so many things, and is just gorgeous. Seriously, the top floor is an entire garden. And in that respect, this Indigospirit is perfect because this scenic center is exactly the kind of place where I would like to buy a book along with a snack or drink and then settle down to read for a good part of the day. X3 Side note, we only saw restrooms on the third floor, there are two parkades and the first three hours were free on the weekend, and (if you're interested) Indigospirit's book selection can also be found on the Indigo bookseller website. They do shipping. Next time we visit Calgary, I WILL come back and have my full reading day.

Guess What? :) Let's just say I met the personal experience requirement, but barely.

I've gone there in the past 3 years to purchase a couple bibles and resource books, but the latter often are not available or at the time out of stock. And if you want, you can order through them, and will likely acquire it for you as quickly as Amazon or Banner Books. As we know, book and music stores in general have taken a major hit over the past 15 years, and to have any quality stand-alone book store still in existence is remarkable: I think it's really all about people who prefer to hold hard copy in their hands than a Kindle, laptop or smart phone. That we can load up several copies of bibles and reference materials on those phones says it all. That aside, however, for anyone who wants to get a well-bound Christian bible and biblical/theological literature that's quite authentic to the Lord, set aside some time and browse for things here? Might be worth it.
