If there is one place in the world where I can happily get lost for hours on end, it’s Indigo; Canada’s biggest book store.

Whether in store or on-line Indigo has something for everyone. Some new fun favourites in the sprawling Indigo stores revolve around…wait for it….all things Canadian! That’s right!
