Crux Books

I love Crux bookstore! I discovered this little bookstore a long time ago tucked away in the heart of the University of Toronto campus (lower level of Wycliffe College). I’ve been coming here for a few years now to buy theological, philosophical and classic literature.
Crux has a very comfortable atmosphere; friendly, helpful and educated staff. The bookstore seems to be well organized and I love their automated computer inventory sales system. Their system can search inventory which is updated on their computers to see sales and new orders. This makes it easier for them to help me find books, find out prices, or see when their new stock is coming in. Also, the bookstore offers coffee, tea and hot chocolate. The best part is that they have unbeatable prices on all their books! All their books are usually discounted 15−20% off retail.
This bookstore also sells books for children, christian icons (mostly byzantine style), and cards for different occasions etc. The only downfall about this place is that once a book is gone, it’s usually gone for a long time before the new stock comes in. The staff will usually ask you for your name and phone number, so when the book does arrive, they will hold the book for you and give you a call and let you know so you can pick it up. Also, their selection of icons is rather small, and the icons seem to be a tad bit pricey.
Overall, this is a great bookstore if you’re looking for theological literature without the high prices.
