This is not necessarily a review of this location but of the chain in general.
I love this bookstore. It’s the epitome of a bookish introvert girl wonderland. You need to check out all the nifty cat swag, cute little kitchenwares, and office supplies. I can’t comment too much on the book section because I am an English speaker with poor french skills but browsing this store turned me onto a few books that I soon ordered in English back home. If I lived in the area I’ll be here all the time!

We were super excited to check out the magazine selection in CA… Coming from the states we get very few forward/modern magazines. The minute we stepped into the magazine section at this location the bookkeeper was incredibly rude. He was swooping in front of your face, grabbing a zine, throwing it here, whipping his cart around, getting 1 inch from your toes… I mean, I couldn’t believe how rude. It was like no one was in his store, we were all invisible and he was rushing to get some task done before the world ended. We wanted to buy some zines but put them down and ran out before we got plowed over.

I loved this bookstore. It felt more like a department store than just a bookstore with all the cute displays and housewares for sale. Loads and loads and loads of books. Mostly in French but a nice English section. If you’re a fan of graphic novels and speak French then this is a place you simply must visit. I have never seen such a huge and varied selection. They had several beautiful post card displays (a must for every visit) and while there were loads of people you never felt like it was too busy to browse and enjoy the displays.

Not the most complete book store on the island. But it’s the only big one in the area and it’s open until 10pm so who’s complaining???

What horrible, horrible customer service! I never received notification of the item they shipped arriving, and when they told me it was unclaimed and I tried to get it reshipped (and offered to pay the new shipping), they instead refunded me my money minus the shipping and 10%! Why should I have to pay a huge amount for something I never received? They were totally unwilling to work with me, rude, and certainly don’t care about their customers. I will never buy anything from them again!

Stopped in again here last week. Still love this place. Mathieu is correct in that there is a large focus here on items that are not books or magazines (there really is a lot of random stuff, some of which could make for a cool gift for some one in the US). Personally, I don’t really mind all that. I did pick up a great guide here on Québécois French, as I am trying to familiarize myself with its differences from the French of France. Their magazine selection is great and I’ve found the staff to be quite helpful.

A Dollarstore for rich people. They sell a lot of «cossin» (ko-sain). Which his a Quebec term (Joual) for CRAP! Lot of papers, Boudha statue to the expensive Journal made with a leather cover. I might hear you say: yeah! cool! superb! awesome! But this is a Library. In Quebec, Library receive subvention from the goverment to promote culture. Therefore, this store as basically 50% of the store for «cossins» and the other for 40% for books and a small section for CD and DVD. As an ex-librarian I can tell you that the biggest issue with big company like Renaud Bray and Archambault (which is the main competitor) is exactly that: Selling Quantities before Quality. They prefer servant with next to no knowledge that will execute the task over knowledgeable personal. Therefore it makes it harder and harder to get small author with small quantity distributed in those library.
