What a beautiful bookstore! Very bright & inviting. I asked the staff about local authors & they were able to show me a great selection of choices. Highly recommend!

Epic books is a great neighborhood book store. They don't have a deep selection in store but what they have is all very good. Also you can get them to order basically anything in for you that you could want. Great place to go if you are looking for a recommendation, less so if you are looking for an obscure book that you don't want to wait for them to order for you. Staff are excellent, very friendly, and the store is clean, well lit, and well taken care of.

Everyone that I've interacted with is always very nice and helpful. I've ordered from them on three separate occasions and it's always been great. The second time I had ordered, one of the books ended up being on back order from the publisher, so when my third order arrived Joe offered to ship the available books from my second order at the same time. My only issue is the lack of response from the email listed on their website. However, when responding to the shipping confirmation email, they're always very prompt, which is why it's a 5 star and not a four star. Thanks for everything y'all! :)

Incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgable staff. They have a rotating literature collection as well as the classics. It's a cozy place to be for an hour or so when you want to find a new world to discover.

This is a small, boutique bookstore with a decent selection geared towards interesting Canadian books. It has been there for almost a decade, and has a great, comfortable feel. The staff know books and love talking about their favourites.
