The Word Bookstore, Independent bookstore in McGill Ghetto, Montreal, Canada.
The Word Bookstore offers literature, philosophy, poetry, drama, history, political science, theology, and Eastern religion books in a 19th-century brick building.
Adrian King-Edwards and Luci Friesen established The Word Bookstore in 1973 in their apartment before moving to the current location on Milton Street in 1975.
The bookstore features a dedicated section displaying Montreal poets' works beneath Leonard Cohen's photograph and regularly hosts literary readings by local authors.
The Word Bookstore opens Monday through Wednesday from 10 AM to 6 PM, Thursday and Friday from 10 AM to 9 PM, and Saturday from 11 AM to 6 PM.
The building housed a Chinese laundry for 70 years before becoming a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Canada.
