It's a great stop for students, tourists, and locals. Many students will sell their old textbooks here and some (I'm not sure about all) professors at Acadia will order their books through him instead of the campus book store because it costs the students less. If you're a student on a tight budget, a visitor interested in some local literature, or just somebody in need of an interesting read, check out The Odd Book.

Without a doubt the best used book store in the Valley! This new location right on the main road…read morethrough town is a clean and super organized two floor shop. Soooo many books that are so neatly organized with a great vibe. Shelves are organized by theme/category and the store is nice and bright, unlike most book stores. The main floor is all fiction and has a small new books section with lots of local Nova Scotia selections. There are also journals and beautiful cards you won't find elsewhere and a large selection of books from local publishers. There's also a nice quaint seating area at the front of the store where you can get lost in a book while looking up to see the world go by on the front street. The upstairs is all non-fiction and an absolute paradise with topics broken down to nature and woodworking and even a section on alcohols and wine. This makes books easier to find and so much more fun. Lots of little seating nooks upstairs with tables, chairs and even a nicely hidden couch. The only downside of this place is that it is two floors so it's not fully accessible. Sadly, Nova Scotia lags severely in accessibility legislation, so this is a common problem theme. If you're looking for something, the owner is friendly and helpful over phone or email. You can connect before arriving to see if they have a certain book in stock. Come with lots of extra time because you will lose track of it!

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!

They've got a great selection of local books, and books about the region. The owner also has a really wonderful selection of DVDs for rent, including possibly the best selection of foreign films and arthouse films in the area.

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!
