The Word Bookstore

The Word Bookstore The Word is an independent secondhand bookstore located two blocks east of McGill University in the heart of downtown Montreal.

Since opening our doors in 1975 we have offered a wide selection of literature, philosophy and poetry. The Word also features an assortment of books in the fields of drama, history, political science, religion and more. The shopper on a tight budget need look no further than our one-dollar shelf and fifty-cent pile which feature new books on a daily basis. Indeed, regular customers will tell you t

hat they have built entire libraries out of the gems they spotted in these sections alone. They may also tell you that browsing the shelves at The Word is often a serendipitous experience: wander in looking for a Jonathan Franzen novel and leave with that edition of The Odyssey that has eluded you for years. Or, pick up a hardcover book from our new arrival section and discover a 50-year-old newspaper clipping about the author tucked in among the back pages.

Adrian just got back from a house call and the van is genuinely overflowing. Books spilling out onto the street kind of overflowing. Keep an eye on our shelves over the next few days, there's some real gems in this haul.
