Sci-fi Galore!

Rated this place:

Love the fact that they are a 5 minute walk from my house, but that's also a bad thing since I can easily spend way too much here! Great recommendations and well stocked, if they don't happen to carry something they can order it for you. The only thing I don't like is I always seem to get rude service with the guy who has long hair, he always seems like he's in a bad mood. Everyone else I've had a great time talking to about books, but not this guy for some reason. Oh well, still a great local bookstore for all your fantasy and sci-fi needs.

Rated this place:

They have got a used books section in the back that is fairly well stocked. I have scored signed copies there that are in mint conditions.

Nerd alert! I read a lot of fantasy and a bit of sci-fi as a teenager, and even way back then, Bakka was feeding my overactive imagination with Spider Robinson, Charles DeLint, Anne McCaffrey and Orson Scott Card. Staff are warm and cuddly and give great recommendations. Also, I have to love any store named after Fremen legend. In Frank Herbert's novel Dune, Bakka was "the weeper who mourns for all mankind." I just wish they’d stop moving around: Queen, Yonge, Queen again? Stay put!

Rated this place:

Bakka is one of the vanishing breed of small, independently-run bookstores that truly know and understand their stock and their customers. It's a place where you can walk in, tell the staff what you like, and they will be able to pick out several more books that you will enjoy. Returning customers can soon identify which of the many hand-written reviews on the books are by staff who share their reading tastes, and all of this makes it very easy to find something you will truly enjoy.

Biggest selection of Science Fiction and Fantasy books in the city. Great place to go to to find older books in a series. The recommendations are spot on as well.
