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.
