I love my local bookstore…read more They have a mix of new and used books and you never know what you are going to find. The owner is really good at special orders and can usually hunt down a copy of any book you are looking for. It is small but has good variety. And indy bookstores are hard to find these days!

I am thrilled and very impressed with the prompt service that Books & More have given me. The book was packed well in bubble rap, and delivered by Canpar in perfect condition. Thanks so much to Books & More. I would recommend this company to anyone, and will certainly deal with them again if I am going to purchase a book. D. Renaud Trenton, Ontario.

On Saturday, my friend and I found two businesses in downtown Uxbridge that were still open before…read more5 pm. We visited Blue Heron Books just before it closed at 5 pm. When we got there, a female staff member was starting to remove her books from the display outside. We had to pick up the browsing pace a bit inside the store. It is a small bookstore, but has its own charm. There were planners with colourful covers. Books were nicely organized by topic. It felt cozy browsing around. The store has wood panelling and floors. The rewards program at this bookstore is called Camp Penguin. I like anything that features penguins. If I lived closer, I'd enroll in the program. You get a canvas tote as a welcome gift. This place has the cutest pins, from owls with impeccable grammar, to declaring your love for nerds. There are some great gift ideas at this bookstore. The book drunkard festival takes place in Uxbridge. You see it being advertised towards the front of the store. Uxbridge is also known as the trail capital of Canada. Folks are so proud of this fact that you can get merchandise, such as caps and shirts, to flaunt this piece of trivia. My favourite section was the Mr. Men and Little Miss books. They still look like the ones that I grew up with. The characters also make me smile. We didn't buy anything, but were happy to browse before the store closed for the day. (312)

This bookstore has been a fixture in Uxbridge for decades, so it's a tiny bit surprising that…read morenobody has written a Yelp review. Then again, a lot of semi-rural and outside big city communities tend to get overlooked unless there's a huge draw. Anyhow, this is a charming little bookstore. There's not a gigantic amount of stock, but it is well curated, carrying titles from current ones, to the Canada Reads finalists, to classics. One thing I was disappointed about, and I don't think this is their fault per se, is this. Uxbridge is touted as "Canada's Hiking Capital." Did I see any hiking books? I saw a couple of the memoir type hiking books, but the actual useful type ... nothing. There were maps .. but they were canoeing maps. My quest for a "real" hiking book for Canada continues unfulfilled.

Great bookstore! and more!, plenty of selection in all genres, including comics and graphic novels,…read moreyou can't beat the prices either, I've found books here for like 2$ that Chapters/Indigo wanted $20 or even more for!, They also carry comic related toys and shirts and card game stuff as well, all the staff are approachable, friendly helpful and usually knowledgeable about what you're looking for and will attempt to find it if they don't have it, Awesome selection of Westerns too!

As tech dependent as I am and as easy as it is to download both comics and books to my IPad, you still cannot replace the tangible feel of holding a book in your hands.

The main store carries books, jewellery, stones, incense, incense holders, various cards for readings... the list goes on and on... while the second store not only has more books but also home decor items and clothing. You can visit their website to find out about all the classes and sessions that are available - I've attended a few and have found them to be informative and enlightening. Over all, Odyssey is a peaceful place to be and I have introduced MANY friends to the wonders that can be found here.

Haven't been here since 2019. This is local higher end restaurant on Queen Street in downtown port…read morePerry. Reservations recommended for night time dining. Pricing is more than a sports bar less than the keg in line with its intention. Food is more upscale than a sports bar. I had one of the specials which was a chicken stuffed with cheese and spinach as well as fresh veg and roast mini potatoes. See pic. This place is not fast. They cook to order. We were warned it would be around 25 min to bake the chicken. Fresh, fine by me. I also ordered a flat bread bruschetta with feta. The app was delicious fresh. Took 10 min to serve Prepared from scratch. This is not a restaurant you come to dine in a hurry. Service was not rushed and we never felt like we had to turn the table. Chicken cooked perfectly. Juicy. Wonderful. Place because of its construction can become noisy if there is a loud group. We were fine on the night we were there. During the summer there is an outdoor patio with a different menu. Still the same service and quality of food I remember from last visit pre covid.
