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. Wandering the aisles of beautiful books and magazines, a Starbucks in hand, it’s easy to lose yourself checking out the new releases, seeking adventure with a scary novel, broadening my horizons in the Travel section, or finding some family fun with the puzzles and toys.

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!
