  • Seekers Books is definitely a gem within the Annex. It's got less presentation than the nearby BMV, of course, but as an 'old school' bookshop, that's part of it's charm. While BMV is a great place for finding deals on oversells and current popular items, Seekers Books offers something different. For one, it often has a number of rare, out-of-print, and hard-to-find items. And while BMV's used book selection are often above a certain cindition grade (ie: VF/NM), it appears that Seekers is one of the last places that will still hold books at, say, a 'fine' condition, as long as the work is worthwhile. Among some of the more interesting carries in Seekers at times are old, local 'zines and foreign books that have never been officially distributed in North America. their tables showcase some interesting finds outside of the mainstream - not everyone's cup of tea, of course, but if you're looking to discover something different, you're more likely to find that 'something' prominently displayed here. I've found things like DE RE METALLICA (the first book on mining) and METALLIC MEMORIES by Moebius (an art book) - both things I thought I'd never see in a store, and for surprisingly affordable prices. Another thing I've found here is a 'Book Club Edition' of Frank Herbert's DUNE - not as sought after as the bookstore first edition, but in the same format, which was amazing! Interesting tidbit: Some of the local bookies say that Seekers has a bit of a legend around it - people walking in for the first time, searching for something specific, usually find it - or find something they never thought they'd see here. Given that I found 2 of my 'top 5' books for my collection at Seekers, in my experience I'd say the 'legend' is on to something. :) It's great to see that an 'old school' bookshop has been a mainstay within the Annex area for some time now. Take a moment to browse through their shelves, & Seekers a try; great place with friendly staff.
