YAY LOCAL INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE!!…read more Evelyn (the owner) is awesome and her bookstore is chock-a-block full with everything. Fiction of all shapes and sizes, non-fiction from gardening and sustainable cooking to local interest and historical accounts, and a whole children's section in the back. The staff clearly enjoy reading and keep up-to-date on the local literary scene. The store is well-stocked with all the latest award-winners and bestsellers. But they're also clearly dedicated to supplying and supporting well-written books on a variety of subjects. Due to the layout of the store, they can't host events--so they pair up with the Courtenay Public Library located 1 block away. What an awesome team supporting local literature and the reading community of the Comox Valley.

Disrespectful customer service.

She didn't bother to stop talking to her coworker to help the person in front of me and then she had no patience with me and she aggressively yelled at me that the machine was ready for me to pay. the store is not busy and no one was asking for help, she just wanted to pay, but apparently this was a big inconvenience for her.

I and my grandson went to Coho Books at the end of May 2019. We were on a holiday. I was very…read moreimpressed with the variety of stock.

I've picked up a few and store some of my candy, money and sometimes ticket stubs. The key is to either get the ones that match your personality or the ones that you know that your friends won't touch like the Bible. It is well craft inside, study and fashionable. Depending on size, this is good in depth. This is perfect for the alcoholic who wants to hide their flask :) Prices are very reasonable.
