  • This is the anti-Indigo! By far one of the best bookstores in Toronto. Hidden in a nook at the corner of Borden & Bloor, this gem is what a book store used to be and in some ways still should be. Indigo is more of a showroom for books, cd/dvds and with a Starbucks attached. This is a large room where books are stored and kept until someone who wants them finds them. Yes, the musky incense along with the musty old books give it charm. In fact, I would say this store has its own very unique smell, it's Seeker Incense. Tons of English literature, history, some large New Age collection, (not a fan however), comics and sadly as of recent (a few years actually) an ever growing collection of CDs and DVDs. Boo. As far as the staff? Normally just one guy at the cash, he himself reading a tome and always willing to chat if you are willing to engage. Also and without fail an avid reader himself. Yes, "the guy" at the cash might not be the same from visit to visit but one thing you can expect, whoever works there, will knows his genre of books and will be interesting to chat to about books. Prices are pretty good -- in the $7-$9 range and most importantly, you are helping your local bookstore. Wink, wink, pledge, pledge! If there is one small nuisance is that sometimes you might not find the "latest" books, so you have to wait a few weeks or in some cases months if want something that was released last weeks. I used to find myself on weekends swinging by this place and just browse until a book or two picked my fancy to add to my collection. Good times. THIS is a place worth going and check out! Highly recommended.
