The most interesting (and rare) books in the store are housed in our vintage & collectable display cases. Exhibiting antiquarian treasures bound in vellum (dating back to the early 1600’s), leather-bound sets and vintage curiosities as well as modern first editions, signed and specialty copies our cases are always interesting! You can now check out some of the highlights of our cases on our website as well as learn about more of the vintage and collectable collections the store has to offer here.
We were honoured to be interviewed by Read Local BC for a “Meet Your Bookseller” feature. Check it out here.

As many of our customers are aware, British Columbia is experiencing massive flooding that has destroyed all land routes into the rest of Canada. Since we are located in Victoria, B.C., our ability to special order books as well as to ship books to our customers has been severely affected.
The good news: there’s still lots of time before Christmas for your packages to arrive! We recommend going ahead with any Christmas ordering you have in mind, simply keeping in mind that things may take a little longer in the next few weeks.
The bad news: we are expecting delays of about 5-7 days on all orders shipping within Canada.
We really appreciate your patience as we work through this difficult situation.
We are honoured to be celebrating Russell Books’ 60th birthday this August! Thank you, Victoria! We’ve come a long way from the original Russell Books, founded by Reg Russell in 1961. Now in our third generation as a family-owned book store, we have grown and evolved in so many ways thanks to our thriving community of book-loving customers in Victoria and worldwide. We have lots of fun events planned, so come down to the store on August 1st and help us celebrate!

It feels especially meaningful to be celebrating our 60th anniversary after such a challenging year. Living through a pandemic has reminded us of the importance of books in getting through tough times, and made us even more grateful for the support of our community. Here’s to another 60 years of great books!
