Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is one the few independent book stores left in Calgary. Shopping here just feels right. I love the way the floors creek when you walk around, it is like a store you would see in a movie like Notting Hill or something.
The book store is two stories, so its selection is surprisingly big. If you go when it is warm outside, they always have a really nice selection of discount books outside. Sometimes it is just fun to pick through them and find books that you didn't even know could exist.
Pages is always on my must-do list anytime I'm in Kensington. For some reason, I always just feel refreshed after walking its aisles.
