For anyone on the hunt for used and hard-to-find books at reasonable prices, Renaissance Books is a good place to start. A fixture in New Westminster since 1997, this bookstore has successfully navigated the changes in the book industry over the years.
“We’ve got a large selection of good books with lower prices than what you would find in most used bookstores,” says co-owner John Preston. “We don’t pay Vancouver rents, so we just try to provide an economical source of reading and books you can’t find in libraries.”
