We are unique bookstore located in one of the oldest commercial buildings in our city of Burnaby, B.C. The building was built in the early 1900's and has had business's operate since that time. in 1982 the first bookstore was opened called Arcanum Books, specializing in used mysteries, occult and science fiction. in 1999 the current owner, Roger Brown, purchased the store and expanding the mystery book and science fiction section and adding vintage fiction, general, war and horror books. the occult books were sold off to a private dealer. in 2002 the store expanded, but with a difference. Several other booksellers joined Roger Brown and opened Hastings Street Booksellers, a book co-op. These other sellers and Roger then stocked the store with an eclectic mixture of all types of non-fiction, modern fiction, classics and many others.
we take a lot of pride in our well-edited selection of materials for infants to teens, ranging from the educational to the purely fun. We always stock a great variety of books, music, DVDs, and audiobooks that is sure to entertain kids and kids at heart alike.
