CURRENT EVENTS Aqua Books (1999-2012) is now permanently closed. This site is for posterity only. Thank you for everything. Coming May 2014 - TheValiant.ca 274 Garry St. (Between Portage & Graham) Winnipeg, MB Canada R3C 1H3 204-943-7555 OPEN Tues-Sat 11am-9pm Sun-Mon Closed EMAIL kelly@aquabooks.ca What people are saying: And Aqua Books, on Garry St., is one of the craziest, most amusing and well-ordered second-hand bookstores I have ever frequented. Upstairs, in what had been a Chinese restaurant (the panelling and the décor and the kitchen still there) the owner, Kelly Hughes, maintains three studios for writers-in-residence, and the old dining room, complete with stage and fainting couches, is reserved for readings. Walking tours are popular (and a good idea) in the city, and readers can pick up a brochure here for Hughes' BookWalk too. - Noah Richler, Toronto Star	Print Articles about Aqua Books/EAT! bistro Uptown 5.20.10 Aqua Books is Winnipeg's Best Used Bookstore (duh) in Uptown's 2010 Readers' Choice Awards Uptown 5.20.10 EAT! bistro has Winnipeg's third-best menu and vegan options in Uptown's 2010 Readers' Choice Awards Rue Morgue April 2010 Rue Morgue article on Kier-La Janisse's new Miskatonic Institute The Jewish Post and News 3.10.10 Preview of Aqua's Night of Jewish Humour Winnipeg Free Press 2.6.10 Lawyer tries to shut down reading, book.

Why is there no order form on this site? At Aqua Books, we put out 500-1000 new books on our shelves every week. If we spent all of our time putting books online and taking them off again, we wouldn't be able to process so many great new titles. If you're looking for something specific, email us. We'll let you know if we have it (or if someone else has it), or we'll keep your name on file until a copy turns up. Or come into the store. It's really quite pleasant. Email Aqua Books © 2011.
