They say you can`t judge a book by its cover, but here at Kestrel Books, we believe the more worn the cover the better the read. Don`t take our word for it, come pop by our Vancouver shop to find rare books, used books and other hidden treasures. You`ll never know what you`ll find down our bookshelves or maybe you`re interested in adding to our collection. Either way, come in and say hello, Ruby, our Tabby cat ambassador, will greet you at the door. more...See more text

Looking for a hard-to-find first edition? Kestrel Books, a quaint bookshop in the heart of Kitsilano, is known to carry the few and far between when it comes to rare and antiquarian books. If you’re looking for something you haven’t seen in bookstores for a long time but you’ve just gotta have it, this is the place for you. They’ve even got a great online database that you can browse through and order from if you’re not from Vancouver.
Cat lovers must check out Kestrel Books, which has its own resident kitty named Ruby. She often sits on one of the stools inside the bookstore and is quite friendly with shoppers. Kestrels is within walking distance to Jericho Beach, so it’s a great place to visit if you need to pick up an easy-to-read paperback to enjoy on the beach in the summer.
