Incorporated in 1975, Audreys Books Ltd. traces its roots to Mel Hurtig’s first bookstore, opened in 1956. Audreys celebrates this link to the past by providing an inviting environment that welcomes Edmonton’s literary community.
Through numerous in-store readings and literary events, and by frequently hosting authors in other Edmonton community locations, we are continually creating venues that connect visiting writers with readers and book lovers.
Audreys endeavours to provide the complete bookstore experience. We are proud to employ a staff of knowledgeable and dedicated individuals who are happy to offer expert personalized service. We stock a wide selection of wonderful books to help you find the perfect gift for every reader in your life. We offer great value like 25% off on all Globe & Mail bestsellers everyday, special offers and savings for our Audreys Book Club members and our permanent “lemon-ade stand” on our lower level where you’re sure to find great bargains on all sorts of books.
In addition, we’ve added many unique non-book and seasonal gift items such as spice gift sets, handcrafted toys from “Melissa & Doug” and the best selection of cards in the downtown core.
