This secondhand bookstore in New West isn't very big, but has a great selection of books ranging…read morefrom sci-fi to history to the occult. I love going to these kind of shops as its like a treasure hunt as you search through the shelves looking for gold. I was finally able to pick up one of the Discworld novels that I've been hunting for in bookstores across the GVA. The owners are really friendly and helpful, able to answer amy questions you may have or help guide your search. There is some light music in the background that gave it a great atmosphere, especially with the rain pouring down outside, tip-tapping on the windows

There's not much to like here. Everything about it is shabby, with the mismatched furniture and…read moreshelves/racks. There aren't really any interesting displays to highlight the stock, and the distinctly unwelcoming vibe I get doesn't encourage me to browse. The "coffee bar" is a laugh, and since they have it there, they don't let people bring in their Starbucks or whatever while they look around. They try to be "renaissance" by having music events and classes and suchlike, but they should probably just take a good hard look at their store and their selection and focus on being a good used bookstore.

The computer said they had seven in store. I looked in the usual places and then, I found a table of paperback classics. Not there. The woman running the registers calls someone for me to help me out. And boy! Does she help. She goes to where she thought it would be. Not there. She uses the computer so she can see what I had seen and takes me to a little table of hardback classics and there it was. It probably took 10-15 minutes to track down a copy but not once did she act like it was a waste of time. When I went to pay, the woman at register even asked if we were able to find the book. I've been to this location loads of times, and never had a bad experience, but yesterday's experience was just deserving of a review!

When I used to work in this neighbourhood this would be one of the stops I would frequent my time in. Even though Coles is under the 'Indigo' umbrella of companies, this store just lacks the selection of how we are spoiled by the Chapters/Indigo big box model. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful here anytime I was looking for something. I just found, also from their online that they don't usually carry the stuff I look for, probably because this is a small store. Still, if your looking for reading material, and are in this mall, this is the only source you got!
