Independent Canadian Bookstores
Independent bookselling is very near the heart of all of us at Real Vancouver. Many of the organizers and Board members, and of course, authors, have worked at the best shops in Vancouver and elsewhere.
The spirit and resilience of these booksellers and their staff inspires us. Please support local independent bookstores in your community.

Land Acknowledgment
Real Vancouver recognizes and honours the deep history and ongoing presence of Indigenous peoples on this land and the importance of acknowledging and respecting their sovereignty. We are committed to the process of reconciliation with Indigenous communities and to working towards a more equitable and just society for all.
We live and work on the ancient and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Our quarterly newsletter includes in-depth interviews, candid rants, insightful digressions, provocative opinions, and playful antics–all the things you’ve come to expect from us.
