The Book Man

My favorite local bookstore. A ton of books, very well organized, and fun to be in. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about reading, so they’re a great source for suggestions.
Plus, they have a cat:)

My favorite used bookstore. Such a wonderful selection. Staff is just great. So friendly and very knowledgable. If you visit their website you can put in book requests and they’ll get back to you as soon as they can. Which is usally in a couple of days. They keep your list of what you’re looking for and will email or call you to let you know if your book is in. If you need to hold your books a bit longer, they have no problem doing that. I probably drive them crazy with all my requests and questions. But they’re always to awesome and patient with me. I really appreciate that. This place really knows what customer service is. I live in Coquitlam and I try to get out there as often as I can. I’m excited about my next visit, which will be soon.
Thank you Bookman.

On our way through the area recently, my honey suggested we stop and visit The Bookman.
I was impressed. Great selection — well stocked, neat and organised selection of everything. And by everything I do mean everything.
Found some Korean language books for my daughter — which are surprisingly hard to find in BC. Also got her some photography reference books.
Added to my ever growing collection of fiction. Wally Lamb, Lisa Moore, to name a few.
They have a great selection of periodicals, Canadiana, used records (Hold Me Back!!!) and much much more. Even though we spent an hour in the store I think I could spend much more time in there. Worth a trip — and don’t worry about them not being open — they are open 364 days a year. If you are in the area and don’t stop for a visit, you need your head checked.
Too bad they don’t also sell bookcases, because I need more.
They also have the required Used Bookstore Cat — named Nietzsche. Friendly and cute. Would you really trust a bookstore that didn’t have a cat?

Love this store– TONS of books to choose from and very helpful staff members! However if you are looking for cheap books the books here are not that cheap– about half the cover price and for some not in great condition. You can check their website as well to see if they have books in stock which is awesome!
You can also trade in your books for credit towards future spending at the store!

All I can say is holy cow they have a lot of books! I don’t think I have ever left there without buying something. Great selection, helpful staff, always have to give the kitties a scratch when I see them. I usually have to make myself leave there otherwise I’d just be browsing for hours. If you love to read, this is the place to go.
