While walking the Artisan section of Granville Island I came across this super cool bookstore…read more "Upstart & Crow". I typically go for more technically laden bookstores like physics and math based. I noticed the theme "Stories Inside". It piqued my interest so I decided to give it a look. One of the curators of the bookstore sat behind a lectern and pleasantly greeted all of the incoming patrons. I wasn't looking for a book at the time, but was very intrigued by the selections. I made mention to my girl of the wide variety of female authors and banned books. I immediately wanted to show support. After going through the entire store I selected a book that is perfect for me, "Strange Beasts of China". The book discusses how an amateur cryptozoologist is commissioned to uncover stories of China's fabled beasts. I really like this book shop Upstart & Crow. It's a crown gem of Grandville Island.
