The best used bookstore in town!

Thousands of books in dozens of genres. Locally owned and operated for over 30 years.

5 stars! I love used books...you can get 5 for the price of a new one...and I like that we have a used book store right in Sherwood Park so I don't have to go into the City. I periodically raid her kid's section because she has a lot and I can grab a whole pile for $20. Good romance, historical fiction, fantasy, true crime and general fiction selection too. The owner is super helpful and I get to support a local business. Win-win!
