I love my local indie bookstore! I can browse to my heart’s content, and I know if I need anything all I have to do is ask. There’s a wonderfully curated collection of books and gifts, and even though this is a Tiny Type, I still find surprises.

Inside of this store is beautiful! Taking two stars off because the service was not very good. I’ve been in quite a few times, and have not been greeted once. Nonetheless I would go back because it is a nice local bookstore and the selection is eclectic!

Type Books is one of the best book stores in the city, all the branches. Love the owners and the people that work there and we all love books. Choices is displays and curation of books are thoughtful and inspire me all the time to read more and think more. Self a favour and go to the one on Bloor the one in Spadina Village and share the bibliophilia. It's contagious ?

With the pandemic I've been looking to shop local. The experience of ordering the books was a breeze. Within a few business days, I got confirmation for pick-up and headed to the Forest Hill location. That's where my experience turned south. Because their door was locked, they ask that you call. No problem - at this point I'm a curb-side pick-up pro and don't mind. I call and stand at the door for a few minutes in the rain. I can see both of the workers, and felt like one of them could see me, but perhaps they were busy. Finally, someone comes to the door to help me, but they can't find my order. Could be a mix-up (I do show my email confirmation), so still no problem. Finally they find an order with reverse numbering, do not check the contents, asks if its mine, and assuming its been a mix-up I take it. Before I can say anything, he's turned around and locked the door. With COVID, I can understand. But where the experience really turns south, is that my books are in a brown paper bag, and it's pouring rain. By the time I've gotten a few stores down the bag is soaked. I go back to the store hoping they might have plastic bag (I know stores are not required, but with paper books it could be helpful - heck I'm even willing to purchase a reusable bag), but no one comes to the door. But they do walk past the door, and look my way several times. Luckily, I went to a nearby shoppers and got a plastic bag, but by the time I got home, my books were in fact wet. I'd love to support this shop again, but please do better.

Knowledgable, friendly and helpful staff. Wonderfully curated selection of books and gifts for all ages, including lots of options for children. The store is always updating its offerings and bringing in seasonal items and gifts that suit holidays throughout the year. A small but treasure-filled store.
