What an awesome comic book store! I took my boys, 6&10 to Victoria from SSI and we always hit a…read morecomic store when we leave the island bc there are non on salt spring. Legends was the third comic book store we hit in Victoria, the first two were ok but the service and selection at legends was vastly superior. My older son found some amazing old westerns (his fav) and the price was just right, $2-$3 each. We walked away with a fresh stack of new books and both my boys received a little gift on the way out the door. Made their day and their whole trip! 10/10, would recommend and we will be stopping in here anytime we come to Victoria to grab some more awesome books at an awesome price!

My initial rating for this store would have been a five but after my experience today, I will never…read moreset foot in that store again. I was visiting Victoria with my family on the weekend (for my birthday, no less). While in Legends, I found a book I was interested in. There was however, no price on the book. I took it to the counter and asked the gentleman (I'm assuming the owner) the price. He told me it was $25.19. Since I was on a trip with my family I figured I had better be fiscally responsible seeing as how I was already purchasing other books and we had more places to visit (not to mention I had my daughter with me and thought it would be a good example to set). I had a short but friendly conversation with the owner about my town and I left thinking that it was such a great experience. As we drove further up Island, I began to regret my decision. When we arrived back home, I called a friend of mine in Victoria and asked if she'd be willing to pick the book up for me. She was more than happy to oblige. She was there first thing this morning and picked up the book explaining it was for me, the guy who was visiting from out of town. He charged her $51.00, saying that he had given me the American price but I had turned it down. First of all, not once did he mention to me that it was the American price, nor that he was giving me a deal that would expire if I declined purchase. Had that been the case, I would have snapped it up, thinking I would be saving some money if I were to find it elsewhere. Secondly, since when is the Canadian price 100% more than the American price?! I've looked it up online. He obviously took advantage of the situation (and my friend) and made himself a nice profit. Basically, he punished me for not buying it right away. Great customer service. It's a shame because I thought it was a great little shop with a good selection. I would have made it my first stop on my next visit to Victoria but that's not going to happen. I thought the owner was a nice guy but it turns out he's just a greedy SOB. I guess the lesson for my daughter is, don't trust anybody, even if they seem affable. The worst part of this situation is that it's going to be very difficult for me to enjoy the book as this experience will stick with me every time I see it. So happy birthday to me and a big F**K YOU to Legends.

It's actually kind of hard these days to find a comic store that doesnt just focus on modern stuff…read more Having a collection of older key issues and issues that are essential to building a collection for new or experience buyers is a must. Obviously people want the hot new thing but without the old stuff what's the point? These guys have "it" and they know it. Whether they take their time to show you around the store or go really far out of their way to look for issues you're looking for (so far as to even ask for my personal collection list to help)or really just provide hospitality to you and treat you like a guest it does speak volumes. The collection? Amazing. The display? Excellent. The knowledge? First class. The hospitality? Top notch. Whether you're an experienced collector or first time box subscriber this really is a great spot to go let your nerd flag fly. But in all sincerity, BUYER BEWARE, you will get sucked into the vortex of time here and a few hours will feel like minutes. That could be from the pinball games or just chatting with fans, either way it's a comfortable hang out and great for fans of some funny books.

Two out of the last three years I either couldn't make it very early or couldn't make it at all for Free Comic Book Day. The Staff suggested I send a Facebook message listing the titles I really wanted and they would try and set aside copies, and they did both years. I traded in a short box of comics for store credit. Realized of course that they couldn't give me retail value before doing it, but still got more than I was expecting. The amount of titles they stock from large, small and medium publishers alike is impressive. They have fulfilled several special orders I've requested. The Game Room for RPG, card games, etc. is spacious and inviting. Feel pretty fortunate to have this store in my area.

This tea was very spicy! If you enjoy spicy foods you should give this one a try. Otherwise, I recommend you pass on this one! As normal, the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable about what they sell, and polite. Always a pleasure to shop at The Book Rack.

Books were pricey but given the condition, special editions, etc ... it's understandable. Will definitely be a frequent customer!
