Dave Butler signing his books earlier today. We have a few signed copies Full Curl and No Place for Wolverines left. Great present idea!
A message for all to be alert - a pair of bewigged individuals went into our staff office and stole a wallet CC’s etc . They also stole from other stores near to us going behind the till desk , after distracting the staff . They went shopping straight away with the stolen cards . The RCMP have been informed .
Looking forward to reading this book released today - we had many reserved copies but still have plenty in stock . #becoming #eloquent #class

It’s time for mulled wine and Pie Junkie mince pies and cream . Doesn’t that look good ! Call in and enjoy a treat and grab a book and relax .
We have this in store . Brene Brown is one of our best selling non fiction authors .
Beautiful leather hand made literary journals small ones have hand torn paper. Made in Canada These have a literary quote on the first page and the rest of the pages are plain paper .
what a good quote for us all .
Would anyone be interested in a skype visit from the author of The Witches Daughter, The Silver Witch , The Winter Witch and The Midnight Witch . This would have to take place around 11.30 - midnight on Halloween in Chapter 2 . We are being sent signed bookplates and pins. The author lives in a cottage in the hills of Wales ....just asking as she is keen to appear in the witching hour ...
The making of our bookshelves . We found the Butler Pantry front from an old mansion in Pennsylvania at Uniquities in Calgary .They used recycled wood to extend them and here they are extended and then fitted and then in use !!
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” Henry David Thoreau,
very charming! I enjoyed every minute spent there.reminds me of little coffee shops back in europe. I love places with a particular atmosphere
This is one of the most charming bookstores I have been to in a very long time! A great reason to visit Canmore!!
THE place to pick up books and tea gifts in Canmore!
Such a great store!
Staff are polite and knowledgeable. If they don't have it they order it for me and it's quick. I always find a good read in there!
Special little gem in the Rockies! A must visit for books & gifts.
Sat down for tea and a treat in the cafe in the back (which I've been meaning to do for months!) Delicious, yes. But even better is the atmosphere...quiet, lovely music and surrounded by books! Beats any coffee shop in town!
Perfect blend of shop, wonderland and epic tearoom :)
My idea of heaven. A brilliant bookshop. Wished I lived closer to it.
My favourite bookstore with my favourite people that work there!!!
Long live the spirit and pluck of the independent bookseller! After years of visits and conversations with the Joy and her book-loving staff at Cafe Books, I felt honoured to be there talking about my own book "Separation Anxiety..." -- signing al fresco -- in the June sunshine.
I love this beautiful book store. They have a great selection of books and if they don’t have it they can bring it in.
Great new and used books. The tea shop is wonderful. Great for lunch or afternoon delights. Tea without the hipsters, just how it should be. My new favorite place in Canmore.
Great little bookstore in downtown Canmore often they carry a unique selection on books along with the popular reads of the day.
Great find! After traipsing around Alaska and BC to find a particular book, I finally found it here! And so many other wonderful books, wish I could have taken more with me. Such a wonderful store.
Found this delightful bookshop and cafe this afternoon whilst looking for somewhere to have a coffee.
My husband and I both enjoyed the applepie with cream and excellent hot chocolate. What a find.
Loved the quirky mix of vintage, books and gifts. Quite delightful.
Don't miss the used books and cafe in the back of the store.
Awesome Independent local book store in a world where the giants have taken over. Great selection of books and gifts. They also have used books and a charming tea room with tasty treats!
A wonderful world of adventure and imagination
