About Us

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 an 8-seat coffee bar, a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books, a special children's section, and a cozy reading room.

We are pleased to feature original work by local artists. Exhibits change on a monthly basis. The shop also features author readings, 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.
