    I recently meandered through downtown Orangeville, Ontario while on a visit from Vancouver and…read morestumbled upon this delightful bookstore. It was well stocked and organized. The array of fiction was impressive and there was a good mix of contemporary fiction and classic literature. The woman behind the counter was delightful and we engaged in a thoughtful conversation that I greatly appreciated. I could tell that this store was a place that took pride in what it does and as a result is an integral part of the vibrant historic downtown Orangeville that has been able to have thrive, which is remarkable in an age where many old Downtowns have suffered at the hand of shopping malls and big box stores. I will go out of my way to come here again next time I am in Southern Ontario, and will stop to buy a few books to read in one of the delightful coffee shops nearby.

    Today a trek into Orangeville I found myself walking the streets poking my head into store after…read morestore just to see what this little town had to offer. More than anything what I continually came upon as we peeled back the un reviewed and soft shell of this town was a layer of character unseen in may other sections of the Greater Toronto Area. Entering into Readers choice was no different. Entering it the first words that came to mind was a literal avalanche. Used books. Piled as high and as far back as the eye can see. More books that you could conceivably read in 3 life times and all at significantly reduced prices compared to retail. Tens of thousands of used books. A wonderfully friendly staff member by the name of Joanne.And an ornate wooden cash desk truly endeared me to this little place. For future yelp explorers or customers, this spot offers a unique purchase and credit program whereby you can purchase a book and depending on it's age, condition and popularity can be sold back to the store at a few dollars off what you bought it for. Monies made on books sold back to the store are attained by way of in store credit - and ingenious business model to keep customers flowing in and out while retaining money in store. A great spot and worth checking out if you're looking for a good book.
