Spartacus Books

Spartacus Books is a nonprofit, volunteer-run bookstore and resource center in Vancouver. We specialize in radical and academic publications that are not available in mainstream bookstores. Our selection includes books on topics 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. We also have a flourishing labor studies section, a great selection of graphic novels, and literature in French, German, Esperanto, and Spanish. In addition, we offer a wide range of journals and magazines, and we have a large collection of zines by local and non-local activists, poets, and writers. Our space is frequently used for various events, and we welcome individuals and groups to use it for meetings and presentations. Spartacus Books has been a staple in the community for over 40 years, providing a platform for alternative voices and ideas. We rely on donations and volunteers to support our mission.
