An awesome little gem of a local bookstore. Used and new at excellent prices. They have a comprehensive selection of capital-L Literature (I was able to find Dorothy Sayers’ translation of Inferno, which I had almost given up on finding). Very much peak independent bookstore vibes: small, cozy, every corner filled with stacks and stacks of books.

” All Books is a great used book store with an impressive assortment of classics and philosophy. The owner is very helpful if you’re looking for something specific. Would highly recommend stopping here before buying new books. ”

” I like this bookstore a lot. I went in today looking for a copy or copies of Brian Doyle’s Angel Square – the quintessential Ottawa Christmas story – and left with two copies at great prices. This, with a quick chat, took less than three minutes. The owner was friendly, helpful and knew his stock! Plus it’s quirky and independent. ”

It's a tight space with a whole lot of books to dive into. If your willing to dig through it your gonna find something awsome. I found a book that I was looking for that was really hard to find. So if you into finding hidden gems or just stumbling across a book that catches your eye plz take the time to check them out. 📚 🤗

Excellent bookstore! It was my first time and was pleasantly surprised. They’ve got a wide selection of genres. I spent quite a while browsing the collection of philosophy, art, and new age/occult books. I ended up getting a beautifully printed book simply titled “Tarot”. I’ve just finished reading and enjoying the images. Extremely satisfied with my purchase. The shop owner was also very pleasant and easy going. I would recommend the shop to anyone! There’s so much variety I’m sure there is literally something for everyone.

Lovely bookstore! I was searching for a good bookstore downtown on a trip and found it. Great selection of literature and theory especially, but there is something for everyone. Found some niche books I haven’t been able to get anywhere else and the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful!

Nice lil bookstore. Like all second-hand bookstores, you definitely have to spend a bit of time browsing to find what you’re looking for. Tons of books and the owner was really nice. I found the prices a bit more expensive than other used-bookstores but still not bad

Nice little quaint bookstore. The books are stacked very high and the variety is massive. Take some time to browse as there are some gems.Pricing is decent; you can find some popular titles a few dollars off retail price. They have mostly soft cover in stock.Customer service is great as the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful.
