I came in hoping to sell some older books at Christmastime, and i couldn't sell them! The guy downstairs was both kind and helpful, but by contrast, the manager at the front desk was terse and rude. I spent about $45 this morning, and didn't get my money's worth. I certainly won't be returning at this point!

  • Michelle S.

Wonderful selection of rare books! I’ve found a number of rare early edition poetry, literature, and religion books over the years. Staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Books are well organized. My husband and I love coming to Book Bazaar!

  • Philippe-Antoine Hoyeck

One of the best bookstore in Ottawa. Their selection is extensive and spans two entire floors, with classics, literature, philosophy and religion on the ground floor, and lots of paperbacks in the basement. I've very rarely gone in looking

  • Heather O'Doherty

If you are considering selling your books then this review is for you. We had a very disappointing experience dealing with David at the Book Bazaar. He was extremely gruff and just plain rude in our exchanges. Never once did he say thank

I just visited this book store, they have a good selection but ridiculous prices, I was ready to work with them for a reasonable price but they just refuse to budge and said NO, sad!!! Prices over 40$ more expensive than EBay
