Since 1973, Spartacus Books is a nonprofit, volunteer-run bookstore and resource centre located on the edge of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The store has been successfully run for over 35 years by a collective of volunteers.

Spartacus has an unparalleled selection of academic and scholarly publications including journals, books and hard-to-find publishers that aren’t available anywhere else in Vancouver. 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.
