My son's actual favorite place to go to. (We have to go more often, we had some obstacles in our way, preventing us for a while here. My son goes from the kids books, to the maps, to biology and science books, but really like to go strike a few notes on their purple piano.. We are due for a visit very soon here.. The staff is warm and very friendly to us.. and they are patient with my very curious and active boy. It is a nice place to sit for a while and look through books for sure. read more

If you are in whitehorse and you love books then this place is a must visit. Huge collection of books from all genres and most of them are second hand and in very good condition. You can browse around or ask for assistance from staff. All of them are friendly and well versed so they can be helpful resource if you are looking for a particular book or record. Yes! Not to miss , they have a separate music section and another section for kids Even though I didn't take any food picture while i was there but let me tell you very honestly that they have so so so much of bakery goods that you will have hard time deciding on what you want to eat. Everything is freshly baked in brick oven so imagine the freshness and taste. For sure its not regular grocery store so prices are little on higher end. Not too too expensive though. I tried pumpkin spice latte which is very creamy and flavourful , a person next to my table was raving all about the yellow spice turmeric latte. Apple strudel i had just melted in my mouth and i am guessing that their all time famous is onion,rosemary,walnut bun as not only me but almost every other person bought it. They also have customized chocolates with engraving of thank you and happy birthday. Staff is very pleasing and helpful. You can use wifi and sit inside or outside on their patio which is like litle garden with benches to sit and eat. Clean bathroom. Baskets and dairy to purchase too. Homemade yogurt, dips and spreads can be purchased from here. Indoor plants decorated book reading corner is the best part of the whole place and a purple painted piano is outstandingly cool . I am guessing you can play it after taking permission from the staff or maybe you cant . At least you can enjoy its glorious display. I ended up buying 5 books and all for $35 so go ahead and grab what you want from a hobbybook like origami's tutorial to full fledge novel collection and biographies. read more

Phenomenal selection of used books, super friendly and welcoming environment. The prices are all right for used books, usually being 1/2 to 1/3 of the original cover price. read more

Well-Read books is a really good used bookstore and I've been in a lot of them. They have done an excellent job in keeping out the junk books that often find their way in and they have a solid literature/fiction section, a good biography section and a pretty decent selection of northern books - as well as all the other usual suspects (travel, cook-books, etc).. The staff are friendly and helpful and the store itself is clean, spacious, bright and cheerful. Well worth a visit for any book-lover who happens to be in town! read more

Took about 6 new quilt books in on (gasp) a Friday. Young fellow working said "we don't take items on Friday". Yes, but these are free. I don't want a credit. " We don't take items on Friday". But we are moving away this weekend and I don't want these to go to landfill and there's no place else to donate. "We don't take items on Friday". But there are only a few, couid you just put them over there and feel with them another day? Same reply. So okay jerk I'll take them with me on the move and hope next home has a place to donate. Sure hope you find a career where you never have to use common sense. Wait a minute maybe you should just stay here read more
