At Broadway, cross to the north and then head west to 1533 W Broadway (across from Cactus Club), where you'll find one of the best art book stores in Western Canada: Oscar's Art Books.
A haven for book-lovers and art-lovers--and an excellent place to read up on contemporary art before hitting South Granville's "Gallery Row"--Oscar's has a brilliant collection of books that cover literally every area of art, from painting to film production, photography, fashion, interior design, logos and graphic art, and even tattoos. If it's related to art, they have it, including unusual and hard-to-find titles, and all at great prices.
