Two books caught my attention and I went into the store to pay for them. After I payed for them, I decided to look around the store. it has a lovely vibe to it and today there were many people browsing and children sitting on the floor reading. I returned to the clerk and asked if they had a selection of books in other languages and she took me to where they were. I ended up buying 12 children's books in the German language. They almost looked new and the price was very reasonable. Since I had walked downtown and couldn't carry all of these books I asked if they could hold them while I got my car. When I returned there were some new titles on the table outside the store and another title caught my eye. I went into the store to collect my books and pay for the one I had just selected. the owner, Charles, asked how he could help and I told him I wanted to purchase the book. Hr looked at me with my stash of books, took one look at the book in my hand and said I could just take it. I insisted on paying for it, but he would have none of it. Will I go back, and recommend this bookstore to others? Of course! The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and the atmosphere in the store is very cozy and welcoming. Parking can be a problem in downtown Kitchener on a busy day. But if you are willing to walk a few blocks, you can always find free parking on some side streets or in Victoria Park. And if you ask the staff, they even have some tips on where to park, if you buy too many books to carry a distance back to your car. Stopping by the store will be worth your while.
