Great collection of books, especially on spirituality. The shop owner had tremendous knowledge and passion for books and was very friendly.
Love to visit here for the orange cat named Churchill. This charming fur-ball graciously accepts pets.

A great spot for texts of all sorts, with sections dedicated to everything from poetry to Marxism to the Occult. The books are well organized, fairly priced, and easy to browse. As a plus, both the owner and his cat are incredibly friendly. What more could you ask for in a neighbourhood bookshop.

This is my favourite used book store in Toronto. The prices are great, selection is amazing. Witch, magic, herbs, nature, English literature, fiction, you name it. All my favourite topics. And a cute cat named Churchill too.

I hate to leave such a low rating, as I do typically enjoy this store. The selection may not be what you would find at a big store like Indigo, but I have found plenty of hidden gems. The man who owns it is lovely and I have had some wonderful chats with him. And there's even an adorable cat! However, there is one aspect of this shop that ruins the entire experience for me - a female worker who is downright hostile. She is incredibly rude, speaking harshly to customers and at times treating me like I am an errant child (ie telling me off for the grave sin of pointing out the bookstore cat to my friend while he was sleeping, which was apparently equivalent to maliciously waking him up). She's also likes to stare at my friends and I while we are browsing, making us incredibly uncomfortable - we feel as if she is just waiting for us to start shoving books into our bags or something. Honestly, her behavior makes me want to find a different bookstore to frequent, which is immensely saddening to me as I once considered the shop one of my favorites.

Came here on a whim while passing and the name, it's out of way location (tucked into a basement unit if a building) is what got my attention. I walked away with an armful of books. They have an impressive selection of books on all subjects and I love how reasonably priced everything is. Owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. I could sped days here! I'll be back.

Side note: they have a very cute ginger cat

I found the perfect spot: Seekers Books. Its affordable prices and extensive collection of literature make it a must-visit for me every week. The intoxicating scent of old books only adds to the charm.

One of my fave bookstores in Toronto. I can always count on finding an awesome new read and a great deal here! It’s surprisingly well organized with an updated selection every time I come in. The owner is super friendly and I always feel so welcome (plus he has the cutest cat). Highly recommend for Toronto book friends!

A cozy and welcoming small bookstore with a wide collection of used books, cards, and stickers. The owner was super friendly and helpful. There is also a very sweet and cool cat there named Churchill. Prices are reasonable and there is a good size collection of philosophy books.
