This is one of the smaller Book City outlets around Toronto, but they still manage to pack a surprising amount of good books and magazines into their limited space. It has more of a bibliophilic staff and atmosphere than the big chains, since books are their only business.
They've got a better loyalty card deal than Chapters/Indigo, and if you sign up they even send you a $5 gift certificate on your birthday. Book City also has good deals on remainders (something which also used to be true of Chapters, but not as much lately).
