What a cool place! Found it on a walk around the neighborhood and spent time browsing for a book. Friendly, clean space and unique selections. I chose a boxed set for my students and liked the price. Winner winner! Will definitely return!

This place doesnt have any bad reviews for a reason. The owner is super kind and sociable as well as knowledgable. It is probably the cutest bookstore you will ever be in. I literally feel like I am in a Hobbit hole when I am here surrounded by all the wonderful books.

Melville Books is the one of the best used bookstores around. Great selection in cute neighborhood and easily accessible. Definitely check it out!

Absolutely adorable. A diverse selection of quality books packed into a tiny location. It is a fun spot to visit!

My favorite bookstore in town! A hidden gem for sure. They always have a great selection of cheap books out front and tons of cool old bantam books and sci fi. I always end up getting way more than I’m anticipating and it’s always way cheaper than I’m anticipating!

This is a small bookshop if you like that sort of thing. I was surprised by the unique selection and picked up a few things at a slightly better price than Powells without having to queue up.

Fantastic selections, lovely editions, good prices, and a knowledgeable & friendly owner- what an easy five stars!

Great store, love the selection, good customer service. The owner is a real goose egg, and thats a good thing.

Greatest little book store! Good fiction and non-fiction and beautiful spot.

This gem is now my default bookstore. A lean, well curated collection means I spend my time debating which great find to buy instead of trying to find something interesting in the first place. Great prices, great selection, great vibe.

So excited about this sweet bookstore! Great selection, friendly owner and my son really enjoyed the kids section and found one of his favorite books for two dollars. This is definitely going to become one of our favorite spots and we’re so happy to have them in the neighborhood!

There are some lovely specialty bookstores on Alberta but Melville Books really fills what felt like a bit of a gap- with lots and lots of classics as well as more unique finds in non-fiction and fiction at super reasonable prices. Not to mention it’s the sweetest little location and the owner was super friendly when I visited. I’m so glad they’re here and hope they’re here to say- give them a visit 💓

Came across this great bookstore while walking the neighborhood. So glad we stopped in! Very knowledgeable owner who’s clearly passionate about this place. Looking forward to coming back!

Very respectful nice with a good variety of books.

A hidden treasure of a bookstore down a little garden path. I loved the selection of used hard-to-find and classic favorites. Charming nooks to sit and read.

Cute bookstore 🤗 . Bought a book 👍

Every book here is either something I’ve desperately been meaning to read or something I didn’t know before but now desperately need to read. Everything from dissections of Norse mythology to Elena Ferrante to obscure, absorbing math books. If you don’t know what you‘re looking for, the owner is friendly and knows his stuff and helped me find my way to some great finds. Also, the entrance is beautiful; it feels like walking into a secret garden. Definitely recommend.P.S. See if you can spot the mural of a jaguar roaring at an owl in space before you walk in

The owner is amazing and extremely helpful. Small and cozy book store with a great selection.

Awesome cozy little book reseller with a great selection of fantasy/sci-fi.

Exactly what I hope my own library to be someday.

Great shop, knowledgeable owner, go up the garden path and find a good read! Coming back!

What a great find!

Smallest bookstore literally filled with books. Wide collection of books that are half priced or more.
