Meet the owner

The minute you walk into Pandemonium Books & Discs you realize the paradox: it’s not a wicked place as the name would suggest, but perhaps it could be a wild place — for those who happily disappear into the fantastical pages and sounds of books and music.

A large, bright 3,000-square-foot space, Pandemonium Books & Discs is home to almost 4,000 used books and more than 10,000 records, a collection owner Neill Cunningham proudly describes as being pretty inclusive.

“I’m not missing much,” he says. “I have a section on Mediterranean, Polish, opera, a Toronto section, one for local musicians. I think I have one of the best reggae and jazz sections in Toronto.”

Neill was able to combine his love for books and music when he opened the store in October 2000, at a time when the Junction was a bit depressed. With encouragement from his wife and the attraction of affordable rents, he found a space and as his business grew, in 2012 it expanded and he moved into his present location at 2920 Dundas Street West.

“I was taking a chance that the Junction was an up-and-coming neighbourhood and getting in and becoming established before it was a successful neighbourhood,” says Neill. “It’s been great.”

The best record stores in Toronto to gift the vinyl-obsessed

The best record stores in Toronto to gift the vinyl-obsessed

Pandemonium is more than a used books and music store in The Junction; it's a treasure trove of vinyl gems spanning genres from easy listening to far-out funk. You could easily spend an afternoon browsing the extensive selection of rare and popular Canadian music in this low-key shop. Be sure to check out the discount bins for a peek – and a laugh – at record collections from the past.

Bargain bestsellers: Where to find used books in Toronto

Bargain bestsellers: Where to find used books in Toronto

Pandemonium Books has been around since 2000, moving to their current location in 2012 when their old space could no longer contain the thousands of titles in stock. Staff adhere to an impeccable filing system, resulting in easy searches when you’re pressed for time. As well, they stock vinyl records and CDs, so it’s feasible you could read Mario Puzo’s The Godfather while listening to the soundtrack at the same time.

Take these vinyl record stores in Toronto for a spin

Take these vinyl record stores in Toronto for a spin

This store is spacious, well-lit, cozy and divided into half vinyl, half books, with a great selection both ways. You can pick up the full Beatles catalogue, wander over a bit for some Celine Dion and then search a little more and probably find a book that talks about both. If you get a chance, pick the brain of Neill, the owner. You won’t be disappointed: he seems to know a bit about everything
