Frequently asked questions

Are you carrying new or used books?

Both! We're excited to bring you the newest releases and new copies of your favourite books as well as a curated selection of pre-loved books that are in excellent condition. Stay tuned for additional details about our used book trade-in program.

Where are you located?

We're proud to be joining the vibrant businesses that make up Ingersoll's Downtown Core. Our storefront is at 105 Thames Street South in Ingersoll, Ontario.

When will you be opening?

We're working hard to build out the store and make it a beautiful, welcoming, and cozy space, with an ideal opening date in mid-October. Ongoing build updates and official opening announcements will be posted to @commonplacebooks.ingersoll.

Will I be able to shop online?

Yes! Our online shop will launch when the store opens so you can pre-order upcoming releases, reserve books for in-store pick-up or local delivery, or have your books shipped to you with Canada-wide shipping!
