Shelf Life Books

Lovely oasis in the middle of a walk down 4th. The books are intriguing and not your run of the mill Big Box selections. A number of local and inspiring choices for book lovers and anyone wanting to take a break while in the area. They offer events and other Community minded inclusive offerings.

One of my favourite book stores in the city. Great selection, great vibe. If you haven't been and love book stores go.

One of the best bookstores in Calgary. If you love books for is the place. I have walked out of here worry handed more times than I like to admit due to option paralysis.

Which is good, because the other possibility is a crippling book habit.

It's a terrible place if you're a bibliophile. You'll be asked to pay for any books you ruin, and likely asked to leave.

A great local bookstore is one of the most sacred spaces you will ever enter! A reminder that though we can get it digitally there is something about being connected to our neighbours and seeing and feeling the writings they have picked for us to peruse. This is a picture of all our relationships, convenience doesn't replace real connection!

The selection is mind blowing. Expect to spend a few hours and a good chunk of your budget--and consider it all worth it.

Excited to have discovered this place! Great book selection and great service. If you want a place to pass some time, grab a coffee and come browse the books. Will be back!

Quaint place with lots of interesting finds. Set up is visually pleasing and their array of books seem like a good read. Didn't get to buy all I wanted, but gonna visit again for sure.

Incredible book selection. Can easily spend hours in that store contemplating what to buy, so much to choose from. To make things even more enticing the staff are all lovely!
