  • This is one of my favourite places in Kensington, and quite possibly the best independent bookstore in Calgary. The staff are always friendly and eager to help, but not too eager. They will let you do your thing without pestering you to get this or that. The selection of books is as varied as I've seen without stocking technical/computer books and textbooks. Usually I make a bee-line upstairs first in order to check out the new and updated offerings in the realms of cooking, outdoors, math/science/technology, and society. It is very easy to spend upwards of an hour up there alone. I don't read as much fiction lately, so don't really spend as much time on the main floor. Chances are, though, if you're looking for it and they don't have it, they can get it for you. Pages also regularly hosts readings, discussions, and other events (such as Pages at the Plaza) where you can learn more about an author, title, genre, or whatever. The only bad thing is the web site is not always kept up to date, so it might be best to call if you're wondering about a specific event. Better yet, just go in and find out. They are always listed on the blackboard behind the service desk. I guess the only real problem with the place is that it is not exactly wheelchair accessible, nor is it particularly friendly to those with other types of mobility impairments (crutches, braces, etc). It is would be difficult, if not impossible (in the case of wheelchairs) for people using such devices to get upstairs. Still, it is a nice breath of fresh air compared to the big boxes (Indigo, Chapters, etc, even Amazon!)
