YAY LOCAL INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE!!…read more Evelyn (the owner) is awesome and her bookstore is chock-a-block full with everything. Fiction of all shapes and sizes, non-fiction from gardening and sustainable cooking to local interest and historical accounts, and a whole children's section in the back. The staff clearly enjoy reading and keep up-to-date on the local literary scene. The store is well-stocked with all the latest award-winners and bestsellers. But they're also clearly dedicated to supplying and supporting well-written books on a variety of subjects. Due to the layout of the store, they can't host events--so they pair up with the Courtenay Public Library located 1 block away. What an awesome team supporting local literature and the reading community of the Comox Valley.

She didn't bother to stop talking to her coworker to help the person in front of me and then she had no patience with me and she aggressively yelled at me that the machine was ready for me to pay. the store is not busy and no one was asking for help, she just wanted to pay, but apparently this was a big inconvenience for her.
