Awesome! The staff is so friendly and has great suggestions. Great selection and good prices for an independent bookshop. Plenty of used books as well

I was very excited to see that Parallel Worlds has 4.9 stars -- fully deserved. I stumbled upon this place when I was walking up Alberta after breakfast, and spent the next 2 hours perusing books in this tiny space. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about scifi/fantasy books - we spent a good 15 minutes talking about Gene Wolfe's unreliable narrators.
