I needed a textbook for school which wasn't available on campus. It's a well-known book which has…read morebeen available for decades. I couldn't get it from Indigo unless I either found a copy at locations other than my local one, or ordered it for home shipping for a fee. I finally found it available on the shelf at Cornerstone Bookshop. Their website is very user friendly. The extent of information provided and the friendly tone made it a pleasure to use. I was able to place my order for pickup, and could even defer payment until coming in at the store to pick it up. I was also able to add notes, where I could indicate that someone else would be picking it up on my behalf. I got my order confirmation immediately, and the notification that it was ready for pickup within a few hours. I was concerned about parking as it's near Yonge St. on Finch Ave. W., but that was no problem because they have their own private parking. There are also side streets that allow parking not too far away in case you want to avoid Yonge St. completely or it turns out to be full. My husband completed the pickup easily and quickly. Also, for some reason, the price was $24.99 instead of $28.99 everywhere else. I wish I lived closer to them, or that they had other locations. Compared to the miserable experience I've had looking for and shopping at Indigo recently, I'd shop here exclusively if I could. Highly recommend this retailer.

I love all the Toronto Public Library locations -- each one has its charm, but the North York…read moreCentral Library stands out with Book Ends North, run by volunteers. They are so friendly and chatty. The store is tucked away in the basement, away from the main libary, near Fit4Less. Where else can you find books starting at just 50 cents? Most are $2 or less, though a few special finds (hardcover, colour-illustrated, highly popular titles) might go for $5-8. Still an amazing deal! The inventory changes regularly, so frequent visits are key if you're on the hunt for hidden gems.

Ordered 7 books online. 5 of them came damaged. I emailed the owner of the store, who claimed that…read morethe books were inspected before they were sent, and there was nothing wrong with them - his claim was that they must have been damaged by delivery. That is a lie, as you can see from the pictures I have added, the severely scratched up covers, the pen engravings and the dirt smudges could not have gone through the packaging the store sends the books in. Replacement, or compensation for the books was refused. Spent a total of 140$, and would recommend on finding an alternative shop for Russian books.

amazing variety and choice of russian language books!…read more russian classic and modern authors, translated foreign literature, fiction and non fiction. and even though the store looks tiny there are plenty of books on the shelves. and if you couldn't find the book you were looking for you can always order online with no additional fee for shipping/delivery from russia, as long as you pick it up at one of the knigomania's stores. very friendly staff to booth.

This is a small Coles store located on the second floor, close to The Bay. The kids' section is…read morekind of big considering the store is so small. There's a whole section for manga (I didn't see Haikyu!!), a section for fiction series for kids aged 9-12, a variety of activity kits, greeting cards near the front, magazines on the opposite wall, and so much more. I had gone to pick up an order that had been shipped to the store. One employee at the register was helping a customer, and where to line up was not clear, so I stood at one end. The employee that I encountered wasn't very friendly, so my overall impression of my experience was not good.

Second Bind is a business that has prided itself on buying textbooks from anyone that has them…read more They are extremely honest and handle themselves very well. Their office can be a little difficult to locate as the building's main occupants are on the outside of this building, once you park and go up to the 2nd floor of the building, look around the corner and you'll fine this little gem. After coming back from university and spending thousands of dollars on textbooks, it's actually difficult to find something to do with them. All I had to do for Second Bind was e-mail them with the ISBN numbers of all my textbooks, not even from the last four years of university, but from back in high school as well. Once they received the ISBN numbers, within a number of days, they e-mailed back the prices associated with each of the textbooks that they'd be willing to buy back. You go to the store, (and I believe they now have a free shipping option), I gave them the textbooks, they wrote me a cheque and I had money in the bank! I'm seriously truly impressed with how these individuals have operated, how hassle free it is, how they buy the textbooks back at a reasonable rate. Far better than selling it back to the universities for a nickle or throwing them out, give Second Bind a try. They make the community better with what they do, they not only help you out but they help others out as well.
