What people are saying:

Gotta hand it to the folks at Aqua Books--it's not every day that a small-business owner takes a chance on a building on Garry Street. And he went the extra mile too, lovingly renovating and restoring the space, resulting in a fantastic book-store/cafe combo. - Bryan Scott, Winnipeg

FEATURED NEW ARRIVALS FOR THE WEEK OF 3/17/08


PLEASE NOTE: This is the second-last New Books page before our move in April 2008. Due to the absolute chaos of renovating our new 8400 sq. ft. building on Garry, we have only been putting fifty books on this page for the last few weeks (instead of the usual hundred or so). The New Books page will return to full strength after our re-opening.

(To hold or order any of these books [or to check on current availability], please email kelly@aquabooks.ca.)
