I get excited whenever I see a book store that is still in existence, especially since most of them in the city are closing left right and center. I came here to check out their magazines. In terms of their cooking section there is a better variety here than in commercial book stores. I was able to get some recent Company’s Coming titles. I got a few books for my mom who isn’t doing too well to just occupy herself. I picked up a few cooking magazines for myself. Prices are all over the map. Taking off course into consideration that they’re a smaller shop. Customer service was good.

Great store! It has such a large array of books and magazines, and everytime I get a gift for my friend, she always comments about the unique pick. She has a masters in science fiction literature, so I think she knows what she’s talking about. It’s all beyond me, though. The staff is very friendly. A couple operates the store and they know where everything is in the store. It kind of reminds me of a wizard’s compendium where books are strewn in seemingly random order, but they make perfect sense of it all and can find what they’re looking for without needing to even double-check! And the dogs(bassets) are so cute, too.

A lot of people moan about how the big box bookstores are driving the little«mom and pop» stores out of business. One strategy to survive in the market today is to specialise. White Dwarf hasn’t just survived, it’s THE place to go if you’re looking for science fiction and fantasy. If you took all the big box stores in town and stuck them together, they could not match White Dwarf for selection. Some years ago, when I was champing at the bit for Lois McMaster Bujold’s A Civil Campaign to come out, I asked Chapters, the Granville Book Company(which was still around in those days), and White Dwarf to call me when it came in. White Dwarf came through for me.(I must have had a wild look in my eye when I got there: the clerk raised her hands as if to ward me off and said, «We haven’t even opened the box yet!»)
