New favourite bookstore. Fantastic selection from just about any genre imaginable, great service, cozy atmosphere. Prices are comparable to Indigo just around the corner but the service and selection are infinitely better. Perfect Books also has a points system, so it would be ridiculous to not shop here.

Having experienced the best customer service recently here, I am happy to support this local book store! They quickly order in what I’m looking for and are always the most helpful and quick to answer any questions I have. Truly impressed!

Perfect Books is a wonderful independent bookstore with a carefully curated selection of titles. If they do not have a book in stock, they will gladly order it, and customers can also place orders online with reasonable shipping options. The staff are caring and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere, one that is strikingly different to the impersonal paradigm of the large online monopolistic giant whose name does not need mentioning. Supporting this bookstore helps keep alive genuine human interactions and contributes to maintaining a sense of community and connection in an increasingly isolated world.

There’s no other bookstore quite like Perfect Books! The range of books is consistently impressive and the store is always so friendly and warm. Ordering books that aren’t in-store is also incredibly easy- they typically show up pretty quickly and the process is smooth! Also, the points program is probably the best in the city! One of my all-time favourite places in the city :)
