============================================================================
------------------------------

Regina, SK:

Book and Briar Patch (4065 Albert, S4S 3R6, 306-586-5814).  Large 
	independent.  

============================================================================
------------------------------

Saskatoon, SK:

McNally Robinson Booksellers (3130 8th E at Circle Dr, SK S7H 0W2, 
	306-955-3599 or 877-506-7456, FAX 306-955-3977).  Superstore.  
Titles.  Small independent.

============================================================================
------------------------------

Calgary AB:

A & B Sound (140 8th Ave SW, 403-232-1200, 800-663-0596).  "This store 
	has become somewhat of a legend for its amazingly low prices.  
	The first two FLOORS are for CDs and audio/video stuff.  The 
	top (third) floor is the bookstore (movies are also sold 
	there) and the prices are standard A & B fare 10-30% (or more) 
	below cover price.  Tough to beat!"  [07/03]
Chapters (several).  Superstore.  [07/07]
Computer Book Source (311-17 Ave SW, T2S 0A5, 403-229-2520 or 
	800-648-9904, FAX 403-229-3977).  Branch of Edmonton store.
Fair's Fair (For Book Lovers) (1430 1609 14th SW, 403-245-2778; 
	4-7400 MacLeod Tr, 403-269-7778; 907 9th Ave SE, 
	403-237-8156).  A chain of used bookstores in Calgary, with 
	probably the largest selection of used books (150,000) in the 
	city at their 9th Ave (Inglewood) location.  They seemed a bit 
	pricy to me, at least compared to the Toronto prices I am more 
	familiar with.  [07/07]
Indigo (Signal Hill, 5570 Signal Hill Centre SW, 403-246-2221; 	
	Southcentre, 100 Anderson Rd SE, 403-225-0033).  [07/07]  
Map Town (640 6th Ave SW, 403-266-2241).  Map Town sells, well, maps, 
	*but* they also have a large and diverse selection of travel 
	books.  [07/07]
McNally Robinson Booksellers (120 8th Ave SW, 403-538-1797, 
	http://www.mcnallyrobinson.com).  "A very good independent 
	Western Canadian bookseller, which features several 
	independent booksellers under the same roof.  In Calgary, of 
	note is DeMille Technical Books downstairs, which features one 
	of the best selections of oil and gas, engineering, and other 
	technical books.  The selection of books elsewhere in the 
	store is both large and interesting."  [07/07]
Pages Nooks on Kensington (1135 Kensington Rd NW, 302-283-6655, 
	http://www.pages.ab.ca).  One of Calgary's long-standing 
	independent bookstores.  [07/07]
Sentry Box (1835 10th Ave SW, 403-245-2190).  If you want SF in 
	Calgary, this is the place for you, bar none.  They have 
	over 5000 titles (only SF), plus art books/prints, and lots of 
	other cool SF stuff.  (Note: The store is actually a gaming 
	store; the bookstore is in the back.)  [07/07]
Smithbooks (Toronto Dominion Square (7th Ave and 3rd SW),
	403-263-7333; and 11 other stores (seems like one in every 
	mall)).  The biggest chain in the city.  The main one is a 
	huge store, occupying two floors (2nd and 3rd) with a decent, 
	comprehensive selection.  The rest are standard mall-type 
	bookstore selection, but they do have good sales (and they've 
	always got something on sale).  CON: They don't usually carry 
	anything outside of the mainstream releases (try Sandpiper 
	Books).  PRO: With 12 stores, if the local store has sold out 
	of a particular book, you never have far to go to check 
	another (and they can bring in other copies quickly; they are 
	a national chain).  Not listed in the 2007 phone book.  [07/03]
The University of Calgary Bookstore (MacEwan Student Centre, Room 155, 
	2500 University Dr NW, 403-220-5937 or 877-220-5937).  The 
	main location is on the basement floor of MacEwan Student 
	Centre on the main campus - there are other locations 
	scattered about campus which serve the needs of specific 
	faculties.  Besides textbooks, there is a decent selection 
	of other works (reference, fiction and non-fiction) as well 
	as stationery and souvenirs.  The University of Calgary also 
	boasts a student-run used bookstore which carries mainly 
	textbooks, also in MacEwan Hall.  [07/03]  
The Wee Book Inn (1111 Kensington Rd NW, 403-283-3322; 
	1010 17th Ave SW, 403-228-9774, http://www.weebookinn.com).  A 
	pretty good used bookstore, with two locations in Calgary.  
	[05/07]

============================================================================
------------------------------

Edmonton AB:

Alhambra Books (10115 - 81 Ave, T6E 1W9, 780-439-4195, 
	alhambrabooks@yahoo.ca).  "At the fuzzy edge of Whyte Avenue 
	in Old Strathcona."  A wide range of used books.  Stock of 
	about 40,000 books.  [03/08]
Aquilla Books (16th Ave NW).  "Lovely store, first-class stock, but
	pretty pricey."  Not in 2005 phone book.
Audrey's Books (10702 Jasper Ave, 780-423-3487).  "One of the best 
	independent bookstores in Edmonton.  Two floors, friendly 
	staff, and lots of selection.  Their SF section is a bit 
	small, and in the basement."  [07/07]
Bjarne's Books (10533 82 Ave, 780-439-7133).  Was the other 
	second-floor store, but now occupies a new, snazzy location.  
	One of Edmonton's better used bookstores.  A great collection 
	of Canadiana, including first-editions of novels and 
	historical works on the Arctic and the exploration of Western 
	Canada.  In any case, it's probably the best for Antiquarian 
	books.  Bjarne is a knowledgeable and friendly dealer and is 
	a member of Antiquarian Booksellers of Canada.  [07/07]
Book Traders (Jasper Ave and 117 St).  A mildly small second-hand 
	store.
Booknosis (10721 124 St, 780-732-1199, booknosis@telus.net).  
	General used books.  Just up and across the street from the 
	Roxy Theatre.  Tue-Sat 11AM-7PM.  [07/07]
Coles (various malls).  Part of the chain.  (No surplus books, as 
	was previously listed.)  [07/07]
Dormition Skete Orthodox Books & Items (12649 70 St, 780-428-3528, 
	http://www.orthodoxbooksanditems.com).  Orthodox Christianity and 
	church history.  Located in a church basement near the address 
	shown above; open "after Divine Services or by appointment."  
	[04/05]
Greenwoods' Bookshoppe (7925 104 St, 780-439-2005 or 800-661-2078, FAX
	780-433-5774, http://www.greenwoods.com).  "Another great 
	independent bookstore.  Has a larger SF section than Audrey's, 
	and stocks more Canadian SF.  Also has a friendly staff.  
	*Packed* on Saturdays--you may want to come on a different 
	day."  [07/07]
Edmonton Book Store (11216 76 Ave, 780-433-1871).  Originally a 
	used book store on the university campus, this bookstore now 
	caters to both students and the general book-buying public.  
	Good selections in most of the standard areas and an 
	interesting selection of antiquarian and Canadiana.  [07/07]
HUB Cigar Store (across the street from the Bagel tree).  The original
	Edmonton newsstand.  Still has one of the best 
	newspaper/magazine selections in the city.
OA Books (10503 Jasper Ave, 2nd Floor, T5J 1Z5, 780-428-8888 x230 or
	1-877-833-3388, FAX 780-497-7828, http://www.oabooks.com).  
	Computer-related titles; a "live" extension of their on-line 
	bookstore.  Not listed in the 2005 phone book.
University of Alberta Bookstore Sales Annex (HUB Mall).  [06/08]
Varscona Books (2 Floor, 10824a 82 Ave).  One of two small upstairs
	secondhand bookstores on Whyte Avenue.  Has a good selection--
	more of the literary and non-fiction hardcover than Wee Book 
	Inn, and is particularly good for language dictionaries.  Not 
	listed in the 2005 phone book.
Warp 1 Comics & Games (81 Ave).  Has a few SF books in addition to the
	comics and games, but supposedly is going to expand their book
	selection greatly (now that Flights of Fantasy has left the 
	scene).  Not listed in the 2005 phone book.
Wee Book Inn (10310 82/Whyte Ave, 780-432-7230; 10428 Jasper Ave, 
	780-423-1434; 8216 118 Ave, 780-474-7888; and 15103A Stony 
	Plain Rd, 780-489-0747).  "The premiere used bookstore chain 
	in Edmonton.  The Whyte Avenue location is the largest, and as 
	of this writing recently renovated, but there's good selection 
	here.  Normal price is 1/2 cover price, trade-ins accepted.  
	Peeve: the books are only vaguely alphabetized.  Also, most 
	stores feature semi-resident cats, are in the seedier parts of 
	town, and are open till midnight."

82 (Whyte) Avenue is by far the best place for a bookhunter to go
wandering.  The biggest cluster is around 103 and 104 St. (Calgary 
Trail North and South), where you have Greenwoods' and the main Wee 
Book Inn.  In addition, on 81 Avenue there's also Warp 1 Comics & 
Games.  South on the Calgary Trails you get to The Curious Mind, a 
children's bookstore a block or so north.  Heading west, you hit 
Bjarne's at 105th on the south side of the street, and Orlando a block 
later on the north side.  (Athabasca Books, a good place to look for 
used romances and some other second-hand stuff, is half a block north 
on 105th Street.)  Then Varscona books upstairs by 109th Street, on 
the north side of the street--if you're not watching, you may
miss it.  Across the street from that is Tumbleweed Books, which is 
really more of a comic store these days.  You can also continue up 
109th Street to the Edmonton Book Store on 85 Ave., a second-hand 
store that, due to its proximity to the University, has a thriving 
business in textbooks.  [On 88 Ave., between the Sugarbowl and 
Blackbyrd M-yoo-sik, just down the street from the hostel shop,] 
there's Second Fiddle books, another upstairs second-hand store I 
know little about.  If you're still feeling energetic, you could go 
over to HUB Mall and check out the Old Penny, but I'd be more
inclined to stop and have nachos at one of the restaurants in that 
area....  (Aaron Humphrey)

Rocky Mountain National Parks AB/BC:

Most of the little towns have small bookstores with Canadiana, outdoors 
books, and vacation reading.  The Yoho National Park interpretive centre 
has books on the Burgess Shale.

============================================================================
------------------------------

Vancouver BC:

ABC Book & Comic Emporium (1539 Broadway, W Vancouver, V6J 1W6, 
	604-682-3019).  "Used books of all kinds, including a large 
	selection of SF and SF rarities.  Its new site is near a book 
	'cluster: of sorts: a Chapters across the road, right next to 
	another (non-fiction) used bookstore, and also a magazine

Banyen Books (2671 W Broadway, 604-732-7912).  A "new-age" bookstore:
	metaphysics, ecology, new age, Eastern religions etc.  "Plus a lot
	more that shows you can't judge a bookstore by their Yellow Pages
	ad.  The biggest and best of its kind in Canada."

	all-purpose bookstore; new books.  Mentioned by posters as one of

Lawrence Books (3591 W 41st at Dunbar, 604-261-3812).  Used books.
	Excellent selection of history and literature.  Knows the value of
	what he has, so there are very few great bargains.  "A nice
	neighborhood used bookstore, with a broad selection of books that
	look like they've come from retired university professors, i.e.,
	good quality, eclectic collection."
Little Sisters Book & Art Emporium (1221 Thurlow, 604-669-1753, FAX

	A gay/lesbian/bisexual bookstore, well known for fighting Canada
	Customs on censorship issues.
MacLeod's Books (455 W Pender).  Used books.  Excellent history and art
	selections.  Some of the staff are extremely knowledgeable, but some
	of the younger staff are not, and can mislead the customer.
Neville Books (7793 Royal Oak, Burnaby).  Used books.  Specializes in
	military history, but has a good selection of other stuff.  Carries
	new books by local authors.  Extremely knowledgeable bookseller.
Pulp Fiction Books (2422 Main, V5T 3E2, 604-876-4311, 
	http://www.pulpfictionbooksvancouver.com/).  Second-hand books.

	Mon-Wed 10AM-8PM, Thu-Sat 10AM-9PM, Sun 11AM-7PM.  [09/08]  
Sophia Books-Multilingual (450 Hastings W, V6B 1L1, 604-684-0484, 
	http://www.sophiabooks.com).  "Mostly Japanese and French 
	stuff.  No English to speak of.  They are a generalist 
	bookstore, if multilingual, so SF is not on top of their 
	list.  They do have French graphic novels, which have a large 
	SF subgenre."  [12/05]
Spartacus (684 East Hastings, V6A 1R1, 604-688-6138, 
	http://www.spartacusbooks.org/).  "Vancouver’s only non-profit, 
	volunteer-run, radical bookstore."  Re-opened after a fire destroyed

University Bookstore (on the University of British Columbia campus--take bus
	#10 or #4 from downtown).  "Lauds itself as the West's largest
	bookstore.  A great selection."  The renovation is finally
	completed.
White Dwarf Books (4715 West 10th Avenue, 604-228-8223, 
	http://www.deadwrite.com).  Fantasy and SF.  
	"A description of White Dwarf is incomplete without a mention of 
	the dog.  Next to the cash register sleeps a basset of various 
	hues of brown.  A sound from outside arouses his interest and 
	he's off, out the door.  The storekeeper runs after, calling, 
	'Manny!  Manny!'  He reluctantly returns to lie down again at 
	his post, growling slightly at a customer who comes too 
	close.  He's tired now, and 10 years is getting on for a dog, 
	and he wants his sleep."  [--Pam Gurd]  [This was several years 
	ago, so I suspect Manny is no longer there.]  Others agree it 
	has a very good selection of books, and note there is also at 
	least one good coffee shop nearby.  
Women in Print (3566 W 4th, 732-4128).
