Bookstore tips for Regina

A few things worth knowing before you work through Regina's bookstores:

• Ask the booksellers at Comic Readers. A good bookseller lives for the question 'what should I read next?' Give them three books you loved and watch them work.
• Read the first page in the shop at Spafford Books. The first-page test never lies. If it doesn't grab you standing there, it won't grab you at home.
• Magazines and journals matter. The little-magazine rack is where new writers appear first. Cheap, weird, and full of discoveries.
• Learn your editions. A first edition, first printing is the collectible one. Booksellers will show you how to check the copyright page.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Regina — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new bookstore in Regina can take a while to appear. The 7 above are only as current as the community map. A bookstore that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't list prices — they change constantly and vary by edition. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers, in alphabetical order with no favourites.

If you run one of the 7 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
