Founded by Jason Purcell and Matthew Stepanic, Glass Bookshop is a new space in Edmonton, Alberta, that focuses on Canadian writing with special attention paid to queer and racialized writers, as well as the independent publishers who help to produce their work.


In order to protect the health and well-being of our community, we have closed the doors to our pop-up space until it’s safe to gather again. It’s important that we think and act collectively now; stay home as much as you can, limit contact, and take good care of yourself and others.
 

We are offering FREE delivery to homes in Edmonton, Sherwood Park & St. Albert on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. 

Browse the lists below to discover some of our favourite and popular titles, or use the search bar above to find a specific title.

Sign up to our newsletter here to keep up to date with updates on the shop and our latest titles.

For questions about ordering and our delivery service, please visit our FAQ page.
