Established in 2003, Mandolin Books is a place to relax and enjoy a good cup of coffee or tea and a bit of baking while browsing a wide selection of quality used books.
The shop offers seating for 12, a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books, a special children’s section, and a patio to enjoy those rare, hot summer days.
We are pleased to feature original artwork by local artists. Exhibits change on a monthly basis. The shop also features live music and other special events.
Located next to La Bohéme Restaurant and Sabrina Butterfly Designs, Mandolin Books is one of several unique, locally-owned businesses in the colourful commercial district along 112th Avenue in Edmonton ‘s historic Highlands district.
