Best of the locations. Great selection and having two floors really adds to the feel. Love to come down here and look around. My wife and I came here while we were dating. We both chose books independently and then shared what we found with each other as a way to learn more about one another. Coincidentally we both chose Moby Dick. We still have that copy from the Wee Book Inn all these years later. Check it out. Make some memories.

Let me preface this review by saying I am in LOVE with books. My life-long love affair with reading started before I could even read myself, so this review may be a little biased(but really, it’s not, because Wee Book is awesome!) I’m pretty sure I go to this location of the Wee Book Inn almost every day during the week. I live nearby, and am a frequent walker, so I find that this is often conveniently along my route! This location is amazing because it has such a huge selection spanning over two floors. I also love the layout of the books by genre, if you’re just looking for newer fiction it’s pretty much as soon as you walk in the door. As a collector of certain types of books(different editions, covers, etc) I love to look and see what’s newly added. Let me tell you, books are constantly coming and going out of here. If you like a book, buy it! It probably won’t be there when you come back. There is also a selection of DVDs, Blu-rays, and vinyl that are pretty good, along with good prices for the condition. I find that the staff are friendly, but I mostly only deal with them at the cash(when I’m dropping way too much dollars on more books!). And last, but not least, the magical gem of this bookstore… Fleur the cat! She is a sweet little himalayan that lives in the bookstore, and if you’re lucky she might come over to you for a head scratch :) The prices, the selection, the quality, can’t beat it.

I love the Week Book in and it has been a staple on Whyte Ave for as long as I can remember. I am glad that it is still around and I hope that it continues to be around for a long time. I think there are many people who prefer to read real books versus ebooks. It funs to check out all of the stuff in the store and peruse the used books. There are also used CD/DVD/LP’s etc. As someone else said it is like a little treasure hunt every time you go into the store. If you are lucky you will even come across the resident cats as well!

We came for the«garage sale», stayed for the cat! Boyfriend and I were garage saling and I was on the hunt for some deals in our neighbourhood, which got me thinking about how expensive a good hardcover book can be nowadays, which then got me thinking about how I’ve never been to my moms favourite spot-The Wee Book Inn. And let me tell you, it is a bookworm’s paradise. Two stories, filled with books and DVD’s and comics. Bf and I went to the back as they were hosting said sale. We picked up five book for under $ 20. Three of which were hardcovers, so gently used that they seemed brand new! I cannot wait to dive into those pages. Will definitely return.

Used books. Great for browsing old books that have been discontinued or books you just cant buy new but dont mind reading them if used. They carry dvds, cds, books galore and are at decent prices. Love how they got comic books for a dollar and collectors comics on sale. Love the handy location. On whyte avenue and 104 street its a great spot after you hit the farmers market on whyte or after a hot day of strolling the ave. Great after seeing the fringe festival or winding down from the heavily touristy areas on whyte.

I stopped in and went«Wee Wee Wee, All The Way Home!» Well, almost… But I do quite like this used book store. The staff is not exactly friendly, but neither are they condescending or judgey when I «accidentally» buy the Twilight series(what? I had to see what all the fuss was about and I sure as s#!* am not going to pay full price for that!) or something of equal literary horribleness. Yes, it’s true as Lauren pointed out, you do get next to nothing for selling your good books. But you also get to walk away with some gems at a fraction of retail value.

Being someone that reads around 50 books a year how can I not give this place 5 stars! Oh, yeah, and the kittens help too. Anyway, this place has helped me so much when trying to find books. A couple years ago I was looking for some semi-hard to find novels and I emailed them. Took only a couple days and they had them for pick up at my nearest location. That’s better than Chapters service! They also have a good trade in value imo but some would disagree. The staff is helpful for the most part and always greet you when you walk in. This is one place were I could easily drop $ 100 a visit but I don’t because I can’t read fast enough and I’d just be a hoarder of unread books. So yeah, great place but it is sad to see this buisness closing or changing locations due to the eBook era. I have purposely refused to buy an eBook reader simply because I don’t want to be a part of it… and I love the smell of old books too.

The Wee Book Inn is a great little place to browse for a new read. It’s ultra-affordable, and the dazzling selection here can keep you busy for several hours. Books(new and old), DVDs, music; you name it, the Wee Book Inn has it. I recently brought a batch of used books to the Whyte Ave location, and the staff were very helpful and quick in going through them, determining which ones they would purchase. The prices they paid, however, were considerably lower than the other seller I consulted with that day. Great place to buy a book, and a pretty decent place to sell them, too.

I really can’t find enough good things to say about the wee book inn! The staff are very friendly people who know their books! The selection in the whyte ave location is huge with lots of good variety. It gives you the feel of «treasure hunting» and I have often left delighted from finding books from my favorite series that chapters and indigo are no longer stocking. The cats are of course an adorable addition and there is no better feeling then supporting a local business so do yourself as well as your wallet a favor and go check out wee book inn next time you are on whyte.

I love books. My three bookshelves are packed full and beginning to be double-stacked. And while there are a lot of little bookstores that sell used books in the Whyte ave area, this one is my favorite by far. The store has two floors, and is actually pretty huge once you get inside. The place is
