British Columbia

Bookstore, Accessory shopping in British Columbia

  1. A

    Wanderlust

    Neatly divided between guidebooks, maps and travel literature and a large array of travel accessories, this store has been inspiring itchy feet among the locals for years. While the travel book selection is deeper than any other in town, it's the gadgets that are most intriguing. Peruse the luggage, money belts and mosquito nets, then wonder how you ever got by without quick-drying underwear. The staff of seasoned travelers is super- knowledgeable if you just want to talk up your next big adventure.

  2. B

    Travel Bug

    Lined with maps, guidebooks and travel literature (plus handy on-the-road accessories), this is the smaller of two excellent travel-related Kits bookstores. It's a browsable treat for those planning a trip or those who just like to imagine afar from a comfy armchair. Check the website for readings from sinewy travel writers just back from navigating the Amazon armed only with shoelaces and a toothpick.
