Pages on Kensington is a bookstore with personality that you're not going to find in any big-box Chapters or Indigo Books.
From the creaky second story floor, to their extensive collection of often underrepresented Canadian literature, Pages is a locally owned business that's a cut above the competition.
That being said, personality alone isn't enough to recommend this place. Nor does it have to be, because they have a superb selection of all the genres you desire lining the shelves of their quaint, quiet space. That, as well as the friendly, knowledgeable staff, makes Pages on Kensington an ideal book-buying destination.
