James Street Bookseller was the perfect, dreamy setting for our engagement photoshoot! Monique is an outstanding host: quick to respond to all my questions and made the entire booking process incredibly easy. The bookstore's interior is exactly as pictured (and even more gorgeous in person!) - you won't find another Southern Ontario bookstore with this kind of charm that you can book for a private event. We were especially touched that Monique took the time to find books that were personally meaningful to us. Thank you for helping us create such a magical and memorable moment in your beautiful space!
I recently moved back to Hamilton and live for now in the downtown core. I had my afternoon free and Googled used bookstores and saw this store and remembered from when I lived here 15 years ago. I walked down to see what selection of books they had as I want to begin getting books for myself as well as books with classic fairytales to read to my girlfriend's two daughters (5 & 6). When I arrived the store was closed and saw they only open by appointment only or by luck if you walk by. To say I am hugely disappointed is an understatement. If they only open by appointment is it the case you have to spend several hundred to a thousand dollars in books before they are willing to open? I am sorry but I am going to take my business elsewhere.
The most amazing little bookstore. You have to call to make an appointment, but it's absolutely worth it. May seem odd to do so, but it's easy to make happen. If you are a bookworm or love cozy bookstores, then you have arrived. The owner was lovely and very helpful!
Such a beautiful book store with so many beautiful books, not like ordinary book stores. I would definitely recommend and will for sure come again, the owner was also very kind!
This afternoon I opted for an in-store pick-up by appointment as opposed to the free local delivery option as I was hoping to have a chance to browse the superb collection, attempt to spy some hidden gems and hopefully have some questions answered. This was clearly the correct choice as I was warmly welcomed and all my needs were met by the amazing woman tending to this store. Shopping right now is limited to appointment only but that is more than acceptable given the currently situation our city is dealing with. We are all in this together. Please wear your mask when visiting. Snagging a Kaweco in Bordeaux and leaving fulfilled, I will be returning at my earliest opportunity! May 13, 2022.
This is the kind of bookstore you think only exists in film or TV, no wonder a bunch of productions have filmed in here. So cozy and beautiful inside. I could spend a long time just searching for new reads in here. Absolute must see place in Hamilton for book lovers.
