Book Fair is a family owned & family run used bookstore and comic shop. The used book store was started back in 1978 as Family Book Exchange II and was located on Kennedy St, north of Portage Avenue. The location was expropriated forcing the store to move onto Portage Avenue.
The used book store and comic shop were located a few doors apart on Portage Avenue, buying out Blue Circle Books and changing the name to Book Fair. They were expropriated again to make way for Portage Place Shopping Center. The book store and the comic shop and Ab D Cards (sports collectibles) moved to the old CIBC building on the north corner of Portage Ave and Donald St across from Eaton’s (now the MTS Centre).
