Audreys Books is so easy to find.... On Jasper Ave, just look for the maroon awning and inside you will be transported to a world of books. Anything and everything you could want to read - magazines; non-fiction; new releases; local authors - they have it all. And, if you're not sure what you want to read they will help you find it. I've been to Audreys for 2 local author book releases... I love the fact they support local authors. Encouraging them to host book signings and book releases at the store and encouraging patrons to purchase local books. I've also called the store asking about what to buy for a niece, unsure about her age group and they made a suggestion, put it at the front so all I needed to do was run in and make the purchase. They are amazing, friendly and accommodating.

If you're like me and you like vintage books and hunting for these types of goodies you'll really like Alhambra. You can find all sorts of cool stuff here that you never even knew you were looking for. The staff are very kind and helpful as well! If you need help finding something they're always eager to help. I like it here because there's a lot to look at and there's a lot of gems tucked away in the shelves. If you're looking for a cool gift or something to add to your collection you can almost always find something here. A big chunk of my vintage medical collection I've found from here. There's a lot of interesting history and there's books on pretty much any topic. Woodworking book from 1953? Check. Massive book about garden herbs? Check. Vintage 60's textbook on experimental psychology? Check. Midwifery manual from 1940? Check. If you're in the area, stick your head in and wander around. Prices vary depending on what you're looking at, but usually you get good deals on your finds. Books are super cool, and so is Alhambra.

The owner, Brandi, is a delight, and we had a lovely conversation. I bought 3 books, and planning on donating some I need to pass on to a new home. Definitely come and check out the new little indie on the block!

After phoning around, I thought I might try phoning Coles in Downtown Edmonton to see if they had it. I had nothing to lose at this point. The lady I spoke to on the phone was very confident and engaging. She mentioned that her store had 2 copies of the book I was looking for. She put both copies on hold, as they had different cover art, so I could choose. The next day I visited the store to pick up the book. The store was easy to find in the mall, and was fairly busy. The staff were plentiful and they looked like they were having a good time. To say the least, it was worth the visit downtown to get this particular book. If there is any area for improvement, it would have been nice to have a plastic bag instead of a paper one as I had to walk a fair distance out of the mall. Otherwise, I had a great shopping experience. I would come back again. If you are having a difficult time finding a particular book, phone here or another Indigo store near you.

If you need something quick to read like a magazine or a popular book title, I would recommend this place. They do have a decent selection, just nothing comparable to Chapters.

The staff here were quite friendly, and gave me some good recommendations on fantasy/sci fi books to read from their current selection, which I found quite helpful.
