About Alpine Book Peddlers
Alpine Book Peddlers is a distributor and wholesaler of books, journals, maps, posters and cards. We buy books from publishers and sell them to stores throughout the Canadian Rockies and across Canada. We specialize in fast turnaround and personal service. Our objective is to fill and ship orders the same day as they are received or the next day. We also distribute books for small publishers in the Canmore-Canadian Rockies area. We stock over 1700 titles in our Canmore warehouse and we will special order books for retailers.
Please contact us if you need to find a retailer who sells our products. Any independent book store may order from us.
