GRRREeat second-hand used book store! I came here over the…read moreweekend looking for a few titles after having consulted the usedbookcircle.com website. The thing with second hand bookstores, they can either be in a state of complete chaos, where the book title you're looking for *may* be there but because nothing is organized, you may miss it altogether OR the bookstore can be so meticulously and methodically well-organized that you end up walking out with some book titles you weren't even looking for in the first place. This is what happened to me at Beazley Books located in the quaint and picturesque Pointe-Claire village. The owner was also very nice and seemed to know quite a bit about the writers I picked up. Yeah, I know it's the West Island, but the distance is a lot longer in your head than it really is. I actually timed myself and found that I was there in 30 minutes flat from Lionel Groulx metro on the weekend. It's definitely worth a visit. While you're here you can browse the other many cute little shops, and grab some lunch at the local cafe

This store alone makes me wish I lived even closer to downtown. It feels huge (they have a piano…read morefor gosh sake haha). With multiple floors, you just KNOW you'll find something for you or a loved one here. And, it might not be a book. Puzzles, houseware, cute decorations, planners, pillows, blankets, cards, candles, ebook reader cases, the list really goes on and on. The staff were friendly and they seem accustomed to how busy it can get. With their communication system and their devices to look up/scan books, everything seems like a well-oiled machine here. As always for Indigo, they definitely have pricier books and book sets but they also have their sales wall (3/$15 etc). I can never say no to dropping into a bookshop and since it had been so long since my last visit, it felt really nice to look around this one.

There's…read morealso a big section of staff picks, which I really enjoyed browsing--it made it easier to discover interesting titles I might not have found on my own. It's easy to lose track of time wandering through the shelves; I could easily spend the whole day there.

Absolutely adorable bookstore with an excellent selection of beautiful books. Somehow I never…read moredecided to walk in till today, and I'm so happy I did! There's several sections labeled discretly, such as history, fiction, youth, even Japanese! There's also a neat 5$ clearance area in the back. Book browsing is defininely a timeless passtime, and I hope many can find a moment to indulge in it (especially with all the stress around us these days). For example, I found an absolutely gorgeous edition of The Divine Comedy (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) that made my wallet itch! Do take a minute to enter Argo and look for your own Golden Fleece!

I will say (and this is just me being American and used to blasting AC everywhere), it's a bit warm/steamy in there so bring a fan, or don't plan on being there too long if you run hot.

I loved this place to shop for books. However, I had a recent experience that put me off…read more I came to sell about 50 books that are in very good condition and quite popular, but most were turned down. Even when I said I wasn't necessarily looking to make money, just donate to a place I like, they told me that taking my books would "burden" them... Even though that's what this place is for, selling and buying used books! I went to a bookstore further up Mont-Royal who took them. I certainly understand that they couldn't take all of them depending on the value, but it was really their dismissive and quite rude attitude that took me off guard. Not sure I'll shop there again, unfortunately.

I recently checked out LEchange during my first visit to Montreal. It wasn't on my initial wishlist…read moreof places to check out, but noticed it driving through the city. My review is really based on vinyl records as that's what lured me in. The shop is very clean and neatly organized. They had some nice new arrivals plus several bins of rock, jazz, classical, and whatever else in between. I found one record I wanted, but a few others I already had that I otherwise would have grabbed. Prices were pretty fair. They also carried CDs, but no cassettes. Of course they have lots of books and nice area to sit and relax. Cool spot worth checking out for a little browsing.

I love bookstores. If I could, I would live in one. I enter one almost every day if I can…read more This Renaud Bray is huge and during Christmastime, they have some really sweet deals. I scored a 1000 piece puzzle for 4$!! The first floor is mainly kitchen stuff, stationary, CDS/DVDS, and the hottest books of the moment. The second floor is adult books. The third floor is toys and kids books. I don't read much in French, so I often skip the second floor. But the third floor is so fascinating. They have so many puzzles and new board games, I love browsing. They have a tiny section of YA books in english, it will mostly be the popular titles. I love it here. It's so cozy and inviting. I wish they had some small areas where you could sit and enjoy basking in the glory of their products, but I probably wouldn't buy anything if that was the case. It is next to a Starbucks so once you've bought something, you can go grab a coffee and start reading!

Whereas soooo many stores and bistros and restaurants have changed or disappeared on Laurier and in…read morethe area, it was a very welcome surprise that this large, multi-level (3 stories) bookstore is still here. Although I hate to call it a bookstore, as it sells so much more: The main level has toys, kitchen stuff, journals and stationery and cards, school notepads and office/workspace stuff, calendars, gourmet teas and chocolates and reading/book accessories. There were some small glass plates here that I regret not getting as gifts; at $6 each, they easily liked like they cost four times at amount. And there were some funky glass cheese platters as well that I regret not buying. Dang, I'm going to have to go back..... The upper two levels are comprised of French books for sale. This is a great store. Prepare to spend time here browsing.

Our favorite bookstore in NDG continues to hold that title. We brought some books in, donated what…read morethey wouldn't make use of, and spent far too long roaming and acquiring books. I'm always impressed by the variety. You see something new every time you go in because they offer such an impressive collection of items. We even got hockey cards for surprise gifts for family this time around! Some items are more expensive but we got an edition of The Wizard of Oz that was still wrapped and originally worth quite the pretty penny that we will be gifting to a loved one. It was an amazing experience once again today. For the first time, I think I spent more time looking at their prints and I wanted to buy nearly every Singin' In The Rain one... Hardy Boys galore... it was overall just a lot of fun to visit this store. We'll be back for our quarterly visit in no time.

If you live in the area and listen to vinyl records, you should come in here regularly…read more They have a section of newly acquired records, so once you've browsed their full catalogue thoroughly, it's easy to drop in whenever you're walking by and see what's new. They have lots of records for 5 bucks, which is something like an old movie rental price. Even if I only listen to something once, the experience is worth 5 bucks. They also have way more expensive records, like limited editions of Tom Waits or whatever, which occasionally run closer to a hundred. So there's a huge range, if you're looking to spending a tiny bit of pocket money, or if you're looking to make a major investment for your collection. They also have books. I honestly use the library for books more than buying them, but sometime when I'm in here for vinyls, something on the bookshelf catches my eye, and the prices are fair. It is packed, though. Sometimes where there are a lot of customers, it is very hard to move around and look for things. So much stuff in a such a small space is a double-edged sword. This 5-star review is for my visits outside of peak times, for the selection, service, and price. During peak times, maybe only worth 4 stars because it's so hard to navigate. But the popularity is a sign of the quality, so it's hard to quibble with that.
