“I moved to the area just over a year ago, and this has been my primary bookstore since. The staff are wildly helpful, and always have awesome recco's. Unfortunately, I never end up "just browsing," because they always have 10/10 inventory - and if they don't you can order!”

2306 W Broadway, Vancouver“It's a great old fashioned messy bookstore stuffed with interesting books. The staff/owners (?) are friendly and helpful. The only slightly annoying things is that the alphabetic arrangement of the books leaves something to be desired -- making it difficult if you're looking for a particular book”

108 E Broadway, Vancouver“I visited this store for the first time today and brought my 4-year old with me. After perusing the online shop and seeing the amazing selection of sensory tools they offered, I knew we needed to check it out. My son got to explore the different sensory toys and I was able to see what interested/helped him the most. He became dysregulated towards the end of our visit and started running around the store. One of the wonderful employees came to talk to him and very kindly asked him to walk instead of run to make sure everyone stayed safe. Although I felt stressed about trying to manage his dysregulated behaviour, I certainly did not feel judged or shamed. In other stores, I often get the feeling that my parenting skills are being questioned when my son experiences dysregulation, but Odin is such a supportive, inclusive environment which I truly appreciate. We will 100% shop here again.”

100 W 49th Ave, Vancouver“They have fast service, decently-priced merchandise, and quality textbooks!I'd recommend ordering online and either having the package shipped to your house or picked up at the bookstore because the lineups in the first week(s) of class can be quite long.However, if you want to shop in-store, it would be best to go as early as possible (just as they open up) or a bit later in the afternoon.”
“Great selection, and the staff are always really friendly and helpful. Analisa the manager went out of her way to assist me with a baby registry return, and was very professional and nice throughout the whole process. I like this location the most, only negative is the parking is a bit inconvenient, but perfectly fine if you're walking South Granville.”
