I've been to many bookstores in my time on this planet and I can say with confidence that this one is excellent.The building itself is not huge but the selection is grand, If I lived closer I would definitely shop here more frequently.

Best place to pick up a new book, or you can order it to the store! A great alternative to shopping at big chains. They also have amazing stationary!

One BM that's never #2!Great layout, good books of every kind, esp local authors, and a they're pretty good at getting stuff for you if they don't have it in store. They also have puzzles, board games, and stationery!

Fabulous little independent bookstore with a well-curated inventory. Knowledgeable, helpful staff - nobody works there that doesn't love books! I frequently order through them and they have a "frequent-flyer" program that gives good discounts. ??

Now that's a bookstore! Independent, in a central location and driven by enthusiasm. Books, books, books, and some stationary and gifts. May Bookmarks remain in Halifax downtown for many years to come.

I love shopping here for gifts or to pick up local/Canadian reads. It’s small enough that you can enjoy looking through each section. I love the travel books they have and the stationery.

I ordered a book for a Christmas present on November 25, and a week later, was emailed that the book had arrived at your store . I emailed Bookmark on Dec 6 and said I was on my way to pick up the book. I drove in from Eastern Passage, found a parking space downtown, walked to your store. I attempted to pay for the book with my debit card. Despite three attempts to pay, each time the Moneris machines froze after I entered in my PIN. No message on the screen - no indication of what had gone wrong with the transaction. Nothing.It is not normal for two different Moneris machines to simply freeze up-- it is an issue that needs fixing.The cashier repeatedly confirmed with the other cashier that this has happened before.My question is: Why are you continuing to put your customers through this?I am writing this review so noone else goes through ordering a book, driving in to get the book, paying for bridge tolls, finding a parking space, paying for parking, and walking to your store --- all for nothing.The best customer service in the world does not offset the fact that your store has failed to act to resolve an ongoing issue... so this wouldn't affect another customer. Your lack of resolving the issue reflects on ALL businesses who are trying to operate downtown. I think supporting local business is important, but I lost 2 hours of my day, paid for gas. parking and bridge tolls, all for nothing.So much easier to just buy online.

Friendly staff who leave you to browse at your own leisure, good array of books and decent prices too, we ended up coming back twice to get extra stuff.

The staff are always so lovely and helpful, I don’t go anywhere else for my books. If I am looking for something specific I email and see if they can order it. They’re always so helpful. Then I like picking up my book and perusing what they have in store now. A real gem of a place!

Love this local independent bookshop. My Dad in England ordered a book for my husband and I collected it the same day! Always love visiting as there’s always something new and interesting to pick up.

I've pretty much only purchased cookbooks here (of which there are a good selection). Staff are very friendly, and from what I can see, there are a lot of non-cooking books as well.
