The store itself is also very cute. It is a nineteenth-century house and every room, including the kitchen, is covered in beautifully arranged bookshelves. Specialties include cookbooks, fiction and children's books but there's plenty to be found on many different topics. If you're looking for rare items, gifts for friends, or a novel to read on the ferry, make sure to check out this shop as you tour southwestern Nova Scotia.

Without a doubt the best used book store in the Valley! This new location right on the main road…read morethrough town is a clean and super organized two floor shop. Soooo many books that are so neatly organized with a great vibe. Shelves are organized by theme/category and the store is nice and bright, unlike most book stores. The main floor is all fiction and has a small new books section with lots of local Nova Scotia selections. There are also journals and beautiful cards you won't find elsewhere and a large selection of books from local publishers. There's also a nice quaint seating area at the front of the store where you can get lost in a book while looking up to see the world go by on the front street. The upstairs is all non-fiction and an absolute paradise with topics broken down to nature and woodworking and even a section on alcohols and wine. This makes books easier to find and so much more fun. Lots of little seating nooks upstairs with tables, chairs and even a nicely hidden couch. The only downside of this place is that it is two floors so it's not fully accessible. Sadly, Nova Scotia lags severely in accessibility legislation, so this is a common problem theme. If you're looking for something, the owner is friendly and helpful over phone or email. You can connect before arriving to see if they have a certain book in stock. Come with lots of extra time because you will lose track of it!

This is consistently my favourite Frenchys in all of Nova Scotia. I'm pretty sure it's the largest!…read moreThere are tons of bins of clothing, even guys bins. Lots of dresses and jackets hung up and on my most recent visit the jeans were hung as well! ( A new trend for all Frenchy locations in NS) I always find fantastic pieces here. The past visit I grabbed a French Connection dress, new with tags and a pair of leather Born oxfords, new with tags. I was pumped. There is a nice large children area incase you bring the kids, they can sit and watch cartoons or play in a designated area. There is also a lot of benches at this location for anyone who just needs a moment. What I like most about this place is that there are two areas of changing rooms on either side of the building. That's how large this Frenchys is. So you never have to wait in line. If you're passing by, or on a Nova Scotia Frenchys tour, I highly recommend you stopping in here. You won't be disappointed!!
