While it’s not named after the Quentin Tarantino movie, it’s still a cult classic.

Pulp Fiction Books, Vancouver’s Legendary Independent Bookstore, has three locations in Vancouver – Commercial, Kitsilano, and West Broadway. The literary wonder has been around since 2000, with over 80,000 titles on hand!

Every single title that’s in store and ordered in has been chosen by readers, rather than what benefits the business. Readers come first, which is why they go out on every limb to ensure that their customers have access to any and every kind of publication possible.

They pride themselves on carrying out-of-print books, so if you’re looking for that book you used to read as a child, now’s your chance to find it.

If it’s not in-store, they order it in for you at a 30% discount, even if it’s not available in Canada. With no shipping fee, why would you ever go anywhere else? When you order over $50 worth of books, they’ll deliver your books to anywhere in the Lower Mainland for free!

The largest used bookstore in all of Vancouver, it orders in new and used books on a daily basis, carrying a selection of contemporary literature, non-fiction, graphic novels, classics, limited editions, vintage paperbacks, classic children’s books, visual art, and specialized cookbooks. In their words, “the more specialized and detailed a book, the more likely we want to buy it.”

Pulp Fiction Books also carries a selection of independent magazines, including Geist, Subterrain, Lucky Peach, and Kinfolk. They’re a friendly, energetic community who are passionate about what they do, the books they sell, and Vancouver culture.

They’re open Monday to Sunday, 11AM to 7PM. If you need to reach them about ordering in books, their email is [email protected]. Happy reading!
