I stopped at A Second Look Bookstore with no intention of going in, but they had placed a table…read morewith books outside the store and I decided to take a look. Two books caught my attention and I went into the store to pay for them. After I payed for them, I decided to look around the store. it has a lovely vibe to it and today there were many people browsing and children sitting on the floor reading. I returned to the clerk and asked if they had a selection of books in other languages and she took me to where they were. I ended up buying 12 children's books in the German language. They almost looked new and the price was very reasonable. Since I had walked downtown and couldn't carry all of these books I asked if they could hold them while I got my car. When I returned there were some new titles on the table outside the store and another title caught my eye. I went into the store to collect my books and pay for the one I had just selected. the owner, Charles, asked how he could help and I told him I wanted to purchase the book. Hr looked at me with my stash of books, took one look at the book in my hand and said I could just take it. I insisted on paying for it, but he would have none of it. Will I go back, and recommend this bookstore to others? Of course! The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and the atmosphere in the store is very cozy and welcoming. Parking can be a problem in downtown Kitchener on a busy day. But if you are willing to walk a few blocks, you can always find free parking on some side streets or in Victoria Park. And if you ask the staff, they even have some tips on where to park, if you buy too many books to carry a distance back to your car. Stopping by the store will be worth your while.

A Second Look is the first place I look for used books. I have been coming here since I came to…read moreKitchener-Waterloo (which was some time ago) when they used to be on Queen Street. They are now located on King Street across from the museum. I remember looking for a relatively rare hardcover once and they knew exactly where to find it and they had it in stock. Their selection is excellent and I have always found something interesting just browsing the shelves here. If I get stuck, the staff here has always been helpful and friendly. Congratulations on 25 years, I hope you have many more.

I was a customer of the Kitchener location for years and visited frequently enough to be known by…read morename. I traded in totes full of thousands of dollars worth of games and I spent just as much in the store on games and merch. When I moved to Woodstock I continued making the trip to Kitchener just to continue shopping with them, but in the end none of that earned me any loyalty or respect. On April 3, 2022 I drove to Kitchener to trade about a $100 worth of games in toward two used switch games they had listed as in-stock on their website at $59.99 each. When asking about the games in-store I was directed to their high-price game cabinet near the front door where they were each listed for much higher than advertised on the website. The employee called the store manager regarding the discrepancy and the message relayed to me was essentially tough luck, that's the price, and they wouldn't be honoring the advertised price. Other retail stores would have owned their mistake and honored their own advertised price, but instead of valuing my business their priority seemed to be to make a quick buck by marking up the games as much as possible. I will no longer be giving Microplay my business.
