Comfortably settled in its La Petite-Patrie location after moving about the city over the last decade, Westcott Books continues to thrive as a cornerstone of Montreal’s literary landscape. This English-language bookstore has become a fixture for readers seeking second-hand treasures and rare finds in an increasingly French-dominant area. Over 10,000 books are carefully curated, with new titles regularly pulled from storage and added to the ever-evolving shelves.

Owner Terry Westcott’s decades-long experience as a bookseller, including his work at Argo and Russell Books, shines through in the shop’s thoughtfully stocked inventory, which spans classic literature, history, philosophy, and niche collectibles. His passion for books and commitment to community keep the space buzzing with literary energy.
