Spartacus Books

About

Spartacus Books is a nonprofit, volunteer-run bookstore and resource centre. The store has been run collectively for over 40 years.

Story

Spartacus has an unparalleled selection of academic and scholarly publications including journals and books and hard-to-find publishers that aren’t available anywhere else in Vancouver. Spartacus carries a diverse and up-to-date selection of books in fields such as;

Anarchy, Race and Society, Community Organizing, Gender, Queer studies, Feminism, Radical Theory, First Nations, Prisons, Poetry and fiction, DIY, Ecology, Literary Criticism, Art and History.

Spartacus is the go-to resource for anti-capitalist, political books not found in big-box bookstores. Our Labour studies section is flourishing with old classics and new titles. We have a great selection of graphic novels, and we have a growing selection of literature in French, German, Esperanto and Spanish.

We have an excellent selection of journals and magazines, for example the latest issues of Adbuster, Abilities, Against the Current, Bitch, Communities, Earth First!, Extra!, Giant Robot, Make/Shift, The Nation, Rethinking Schools, World War 3, and Z Magazine.

Spartacus has an amazingly huge collection of no-where-else-to-be-found zines by local and non-local activists, poets and writers! We also sell patches, badges, T-shirts and posters.

The space is often used for various events – poetry reading, feminist discussion club, books and projects presentations, squeezebox circle meetings and others. Do you want use the space? Up to 30 people can fit in comfortably and we have a projector and sound system. No charge is involved. To apply and learn more about the conditions of use, download this document.

Reviews
A splendid bookstore. Extremely broad and interesting selection. Hosts music shows as well as workshops for the betterment of the individual. The staff that was there when I went was friendly, courteous, and uniquely helpful even working through my class booklist with me to see if I could purchase any books for school there.

You don't have to want to smash the state in order to enjoy what radical bookstores have to offer (you certainly can want it, but that is optional rather than mandatory.) Their events calendar is analogous to the contents of the shelves in that they represent a huge portion of human experience that simply will not find representation in any other storefront... and yet anyone can visit here and find something of interest to them. (And I'm not just talking liberation!)
