I used to think BMV was a typical second hand bookstore.. You know what i'm talking about, you walk in and there's a weird earthy smell to the place. I'm not a fan of those places, if I wanted to read a coffee (and whatever else) stained book, I'd go to the Toronto Library. But BMV is not like that at all, it's a pretty neat bookstore and the books are in pretty decent shape (for some it's really hard to tell if they are even used)!
It's a two storey joint, but i think the majority of the books are on the main floor. The second floor I believe are for comic books and such. It's a bit squished in there, that's about as critical as I can get. If you're looking for a book in particular you might have a hard time finding it, especially if it isn't a popular title, but you just have to keep an open mind when you're there.
