"This place is my 2nd home - I'm one of those people who still buys books despite an overflowing bookshelf and the cost associated to buying so many books. \n\nSo, let's talk Indigo. First, the location is great - in the heart of downtown on McGill and Ste. Catherine. Second, it's big - Indigo is spread out on two floors, with crazy high ceilings and almost every genre of book you can think of. They also carry a wide selection of magazines for those of you who prefer quick reads. On the main floor, you will find a Kobo kiosk where you can check out E-readers and get some advice from the guy who mans the station. You will also find cards, agendas and notebooks in a variety of patterns and colors. Upstairs, you will find more books, including my two favorite sections - fiction and biography. They also have a pretty decent 'home' section where you can find candles, throws, cushions, vases etc. There's also a small coffee shop but they don't make great coffee (though, it's been years since I had coffee there so perhaps this has changed). Rare has been the occasion when I haven't found what I was looking for at Indigo. That said, it's cheaper to buy online, so these days I tend to stop by the store if I want to check out books I plan to buy online (I have a system to determine if a book will be good or not!) or if I absolutely need a book NOW. While I like that I can use debit online via Indigo's web site, the fact is that Amazon ships more quickly. Me not being super patient when I want something, I tend to opt for the faster shipment even if it means paying via credit card."^^ . "2013-07-05T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ . .
