Companion Books

“The staff at this little gem of a bookstore are really friendly and helpful. The used books are in great shape – most of them look like new. All are shelved according to subject and author so they are easy to find. If you want real customer service, shop here!”

“Love the place. Has so many books for anyone abd everyone who loves reading. The books are arranged in sections. James in the store is awesome and always ready to suggest fabulous books. Once you have read a book you can return it and get store credit. If you have books to get rid of, give it to them in return for store credit. A lovely place to go to and browse, buy and enjoy yourself. There is a fabulous cafe next door, where you can have coffee and read your new book. Enjoy!”

“This is my favorite used book store in the lower mainland. Great selection of paperbacks, hardcovers, new releases, and incredibly rare & hard to find collectors items. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about all things literature, and given that everyone that works there is friendly as can be, it's always a real treat visiting the store. I'd recommend everyone visit Companion Books, whether you're an avid reader or looking for something to hold you over through quarantine, this is the best book store you'll find around."

“I absolutely love going to this bookstore! The customer service is great, the people are friendly and helpful, and their cat Buddha is so adorable that he’s one of the reasons why I visit this place frequently. “

“Fantastic little bookshop in Burnaby Heights. The staff are friendly engaging and go out of their way to help you. If you’re looking for s book, they don’t hesitate to try and locate a copy for you. New titles and older books. Really good selection and the store is clean and well maintained.“

“Wonderful well sorted bookstore! Lots and lots of books to choose from!! Friendly knowledgeable staff – great big cat that likes petting plus easy parking! The owner and staff is well read and can always help with special orders as well. I’m coming back!”

"I went for the first time today and it was wonderful!! The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, and it’s obvious that they’re passionate about books. They have some beautiful rare books as well as a large selection of affordable new and used books (the ones I picked up were all second-hand and 5-10 dollars each). The staff were excellent at helping me find things, but I would’ve also happily spent a couple of hours browsing! I’ll be back :)"

"Favourite bookstore in town. The used books are priced fairly and always in great condition. The staff are also super knowledgable and friendly. I have walked out with many great books that have been recommended to me. They will also special order you anything that they don’t currently have in stock."
