Wee Book Inn

This location has great selection at good prices. It’s spacious and clean so books are easy to browse. They have some great hard-​to-​finds at really good prices. The gentleman that’s always there is wonderful to deal with. I both purchased and sold books here and its always been a wonderful experience. I did once have a women at the till and she wasn’t overly friendly. She was getting very flustered and irritable due to not having enough change.

This is the only Wee Book Inn that I’ve been to, however I was expecting better. After going to the website I was sure it was going to be better.
Poor location, poor staff.
Going by the location, I thought I was going to get jumped. Across the street you have an xxx store/​club. People doing drugs around the corner. A couple stores down, a liquor store with 2 guys guarding the door from theft.
As for the staff… it was a grouchy old man. Felt warmer outside the building than inside. Also don’t exchange books for cash, you’ll be severely ripped off.
There selection leaves a lot to be desired, however because of how neatly it’s organized I’ve bumped it up to ²⁄₅.
Hopefully the other locations are better.

This was the last location I had to visit before I could finally say I have been to all the Wee Book Inn’s in the city and I have to say this one has a bit of a different flavor then the other locations. The staff here were probably the least attentive I have experienced while shopping at a Wee Book Inn. There was no greetings or offers of help in finding anything and to be honest since no one was behind the counter when I came in I am not sure which of the gentleman wandering the store at the time I came in actually worked there.
On a more positive note I found books here were very well organized and racks were tidy which made it easy for me to find the authors I was looking for without having to do a lot of digging. They also stock alot of the cozy mystery genre which is a personal favorite of mine as well as romance and science fiction. I did not see the erotica section mentioned in other users reviews which means they have it hidden away well enough that it shouldn’t offend anyone who is really bothered by that genre.
I say if your in the neighborhood it’s worth checking these guys out but they don’t exactly match up with the whyte ave and downtown location either. It would be great to see them work on creating a more welcoming environment like they have at the other stores.

I’ve been a fan of the entire chain since I moved to the city in 2002 .A West Side Warrior for the bulk majority of my residency, I am a 5 min walk from this location. Disclaimer: least attentive staff (likely due to the most frequent staff rotation of all 4 locations) of all locations and the rudest employee in the entire chain: Rose, the winter harpy (due to being a longtime employee and beloved by the owners, a permanent and crotchety fixture to this location). The saving grace? The various thematic window displays that regularly rotate and circulate, beautiful layout. Open till 12am, it is replete in not only books as the title implies, but many comics, trade paperbacks, DVDs, blu-​ray, VHS. They have a wonderful collection of sci-​fi and fantasy novels as well as lots of mystery, nonfiction, general fiction and the aforementioned erotica (YES, PARENTAL ADVISORY)– all at least 50% off the cover price. Not to mention their wonderful trade-​in of 2 to 1 for existing or selling novels in for an increased percentage (details for current policies — call in) if you take it in gift cards (which NEVER expire!!!). They have a wonderful request list that they ACTUALLY CONTACT YOU WHEN THEY RECEIVE THE TITLE! Sick of paying overdue library fines? Want a unique first date/​nerdilicious occasion? Head in store!

I love all Wee Book Inns!
I was greeted kindly by the girl working to start with. Customer service is such an important thing.
I loved that all the Halloween themed books were on display at the front with Halloween decorations there, an throughout the store.
I was even more impressed that they had the Dexter books! I’ve been searching used books stores for months trying to find them!
Something unique about this location of the Wee Book Inn is that they were selling beer signs (you know, the metal ones you hang on walls). I haven’t seen beer signs t any other location throughout the city. It was interesting to see and I’m glad they had something a little different.
I could spend hours in the Wee Book Inn. Everything is well organized and, for the most part, the staff is very knowledgeable.

Wee Book Inn is a great alternative to book stores that sell new books. I love the idea of «recycled» books because imagining how many trees are being cut down every year in order for new books to be printed, breaks my heart.
Wee Book Inn on Stony Plain road has consistently good selection. The store is nicely organized, and the books are easy to browse. I reach for classic books most often, and I just love it when I can purchase say Maugham’s collection of short stories in a hard cover in a very decent state for $ 15. Here I was able to buy all Agatha Christie’s books which I have read once and «recycled» again. My husband goes for soft cover sci-​fi and fantasy books which he can stock up on since they are only about $ 5 each. In addition to books, Wee Book Inn sells magazines and other periodicals. Highly recommended store!

It seems there’s a Wee Book Inn in every corner of the city, but this is the location I like to pop into the most. I dig any used book shop but this one has some great finds and high turn-​over, so when you come in you never know what you’re gonna find different from the last time. They sell every genre of book. Some of there sections are bigger than others, but if you’re looking for popular paperbacks you’re in luck. I tend to go for non-​fiction, philosophy, psychology, religion and yoga, and these sections always have some neat finds. They also sell music and movies and magazines. Set aside a wee bit of time for this shop recycled words on paper. Is there anything better?!

I frequent this outlet of Wee Book Inn since it is the one that is closest to my home. Typical of a used bookstore, the stock rotates regularly. I find a lot of bestsellers and new releases here at lower prices than new, but not always very cheap. They also sell graphic novels, comics, CDs, and DVDs. Of course, there is a selection of adult magazines and books at the back, but also mainstream magazines on music, nature, and other topics. This Wee Book Inn is a bit smaller than other ones, but is packed full of stock.

I was drawn into this Wee Book Inn today, because they had an impressive selection of graphic novels in their store window. They had the 9 – 11 series that looked rather interesting.
In the back of the store I noticed a large selection of erotic novels. They definitely were not romance novels, and I’m not sure how close they were to porn, but the covers told me that they were definitely full of racy material.
I was looking at the large Science Fiction section too. I’m not really into sci-​fi too much, except for Star Wars and Star Trek, but then I saw the novel ‘I Am Legend.’ I really liked the movie, so I decided to get it, since it was only $ 5.
