What you need to know
FAQs
Do you do special orders?
We do! Send us a message using this request page and we'd be happy to help you with your special request. We have access to millions of books but sometimes, especially independently published books are harder to find. Not always impossible, we try our best! If we are having trouble finding something we'll let you know!
How long do special orders take?
Great question, and it really depends on who we're dealing with. 10 days is a fair number but we're pretty confident that most special orders will be in before that. We'll let you know ASAP
Are you hiring?
No, not right now. We'll post something on the website and Instagram if we decide to hire a part time person to join the team but it won't likely be for a long time. Thanks for your interest though!
Why are your prices so high?
We aren't Amazon and unfortunately we don't have the means to discount our books like they do. But we offer quality over quantity .We try our best to offer promotions and sales when we can and you will always have a helpful hand finding your next book. Looking for recommendations, we've got them, want to just chit chat about books, we're here for it. We offer an experience and look to create a community space for you and everyone to feel comfortable finding your next read. Book prices are set by publishers and Canadian book prices are high.
Do you have a Book Club?
Yes! Find out more information here
Can you donate something to (insert event name)
I appreciate you wanting me to be involved in your event. As a small business owner it is very hard to donate to EVERY event that I get asked to participate in. I have a budget for these things and I allocate that very carefully. If you'd like you can message me but know that at the beginning of the year I already know where most of this budget is going.
Can I rent your space?
No, unfortunately we are not renting out our space for events outside of our own events. Thanks for considering our space, if you have an idea about an event that we may host with/for you send us a message. It doesn't hurt to ask!
I'm a local author. Will you sell my book?
It depends, but yes, likely, I will help support you as a local author. You can use the Contact Us form to send me details. But I always encourage you to come in and sell me you and your book. Why would I want to carry it in store besides you being a local author?
