A holiday's ideal for bookworming and, sometimes, reading about your destination really enhances the trip. For those of us who can't afford a holiday or are fresh out of leave, brilliant travel writing can be the next best thing. And what about bookshops? Finding a dusty, secondhand emporium or trendy gallery shop can make your day. We know Been there users are a learned lot so tell us about your favourite travel writing or bookshops, wherever they are. Send a tip about your favourite travel book, or favourite bookshop, to Been there by Monday July 14, and the tip we like best will bag a copy of Time Out's 2008 New York city guide, complete with detailed maps, independent reviews and the inside track on local culture.

    The Word bookstore

    Posted by canadienne 9 August 2006

    Independent bookstore that's become a cornerstone of the McGill area since 1975. Standing (ongoing) vote as one of the "Best of" in Montréal by the Montréal Mirror, since 1999. Possibly earlier. Knowledgeable staff, Canadian fiction, rare books.

    Oh, and it's right near two of Montréal's independent repertory movie houses, Cinéma du Parc and Excentris.

    469 Rue Milton (cross Durocher);
    tel: (514) 845 5640;
