10Best Book Stores
Nicholas Hoare
(Shopping - Book Stores)
45 Front St E, Toronto  M5E 1B2 • 416-777-2665 • 877-494-2748
Distance: ~0.577 km *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. It's the quintessential specialty bookstore: hardwood floors, inviting couches and armchairs, and shelf upon shelf of the printed word. British books are a specialty, but the variety is impressive, and if they don't have it in stock they will do their best to get it for you. The shop hosts occasional signings and readings, and they have a fun special series called Books and Brunch which takes place at the King Edward Hotel.

Bakka Phoenix Books
(Shopping - Book Stores)
84 Harbord St, Toronto  M5S 1G5 • 416-963-9993
Distance: ~2.560 km *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Bakka Phoenix is small, but they have a great selection, and the staff is beyond knowledgeable. Die-hard sci-fi and fantasy fans will find kindred souls here, and perhaps the next big thing: writers Robert J. Sawyer and Tanya Huff, among others, are former employees. You won't find all the associated goods often stocked at similar shops, however – there are no toys, no action figures, no games, no collectibles, and no comics.
