Canmore's Dreamiest Book Store
Café Books is a sight to behold. The majority of the furniture is reclaimed and salvaged. The main bookcase is made from an old butler pantry, a Welsh chapel door from the 1800s was transformed into the washroom entrance; an 18th-century French workbench is used as a table for the cashier tills.
