Look closely for Schooner because it could be easy to miss. This little store is actually a…read morehouse-turned-shop, which means it looks exactly like someone's house from the outside. Inside isn't much different. There are different rooms that you can go into, some appearing to pop out of nowhere. I was pretty shocked at how large this place was. It seemed so tiny from the outside, but it's deceivingly large. Schooner specializes in rare and out-of-print books, although I did notice some regular old books there too. They have paper signs indicating which sections are which and what each shelf contains. I was drawn to the mystery section which, oddly enough, was located right next to the children's section. Once I perused the mysteries I was drawn to the children's. I found one book that I remember reading when I was a child and was instantly pulled into a state of nostalgia. I think I spent a few minutes reading through it again. There was a nice older couple working the counters. They were both busying themselves on the computers while a couple other folks and I were browsing around. They were cute and the store was cute too. Top notch, I say!

You could spend three days straight in here and still not go through everything. Picture Doull's…read morebookstore in Dartmouth, but with comics, CDs and DVDs as well (and some VHS tapes). All in the same size store. It is chaos. And it's awesome. I'm always on the search for a specific issue of a comic I read in the 80s that I need to complete my collection (boy, does that sound geeky). So of course we had to stop in here. There is very little room for people. It's floor-to-ceiling books, comics, trading cards, games, etc. They have absolutely everything, but good luck finding it. Boxes on top of boxes of comics in sort-of order. Fortunately the owner knows where everything is. He's a very busy man, from the looks of it; the store was very busy on our visit, and it was a Tuesday. If you love digging (literally) through mountains of media in search of a hidden jewel, you will absolutely love this place. Definitely worth a drive to the valley.

This store sells a wide variety of used books. The used books are very reasonably priced. They also…read moresell used videos, CDs, video games and old records. Pokemon fans will be happy to see the selection of Pokemon titles and cards. They also sell trading cards from hockey, baseball or games such as Magic and the like. Collectors of POP figures will find a wide selection here (including Adventure Time and others). They also have board games both new and old. Comic collectors can also find a variety of titles here.

My local used bookstore…read more As an avid reader, and a supporter of local stores, this is my first stop when in need for a new/used/different book. The lady who runs/owns the place, is very friendly, and seems to know where, and what everything is. It's amazing, if i am looking for a specific book, she will know if she has it, had it, and if not, she will take you info and try to find it/them for you! Just amazing customer service. I almost always walk out with a few books, but more importantly I always walk in with some to give back. If you haven't been, check it out, support the little folks, and enjoy the coffee shop as well!

My son found a large hardcover book in great shape in the children's section for $8 ($20 new). Small espresso bar at the cash. Taking off a star because the lowest % milk they have is 2%. I get not having skim if you aren't a big place, but at least do 1%. 2% feels like I'm drinking cream and is not good for the waistline either!

Haruki Murakami I feel like this book store supports expanding our thinking horizons by giving readers so many more interesting options than the typical mainstream ones. Delightful experience!

I've shopped at this bookstore several times even though I'm not from the area. I think I've spent…read morewell over $2,000 here in the past and they honestly do have a good selection of books and their prices aren't terrible. That said, the issue is 100% the service here, as most other reviews also mentioned. I remember a few years back, they started adding a couple of percent as a fee for credit card users. Ok, I get it. I'm not happy about it, but I know credit cards can be expensive for businesses. But, the cashier- some young guy, not the owner, made a joke about how glad they are that they can charge us more for it and that if I have a problem with it, I can leave. I didn't have a problem with it, nor did I give him a reason to think I would, but I certainly didn't appreciate the mocking tone about being charged extra. There were items that were not yet priced that I asked about and was completely told off for asking about items he didn't get to yet. I think it's also stupid how four years after Covid, they still won't let you in the store without a mask. The door is covered in signs with a condescending tone about how masks are expected. Again, the attitude is that if you have a problem, leave. This time, I did.

I was able to find a copy of Anne Frank's Diary which I wanted for my home collection as it's one of my favorite books. The man at the front who I think is the owner was very nice and asked me if he could help me find anything. This is worth a stop if you are in Charlottetown. You are sure to find some treasures.
