Someone writes hoping this blog isn't going to be a great big multi-part ad for the shop. I'd hope not; I hate ad blogs that try to instantly try to convert you into a consumer. So here's two of my favorite Vancouver bookstores:
Duthie Books on 4th Avenue, and the
Book Warehouse on Davie Street, ably managed by my pal Elinor M. Both shops have excellent selections and knowledgeable staff. I'm a happy, long-term customer of both. If we don't have something and you need it in a hurry, chances are that one of these two will, or will be able to get it for you.

Kits shop).
