World's Biggest Bookstore

World's Biggest Bookstore

World's Biggest Bookstore est une librairie géante située dans la ville de Toronto, en Ontario, au Canada. Elle appartient à la chaîne de magasins canadienne Indigo Books and Music.

Lors de son ouverture dans les années 1980, dans les locaux d'une ancienne salle de bowling, elle était la plus grande librairie du monde. Elle est aujourd'hui dépassée, selon le Livre Guinness des records, en termes de surface par le Barnes & Noble de New York, bien que les librairies Strand Bookstore de New York et Powell's Books de Portland soient généralement considérées comme les plus importantes en termes d'espace de rayons.

Elle a été fondée par les frères Jack et Carl Cole, créateurs des librairies Coles Bookstore.
