Attention all baseball fans! Russell Books is pleased to resume our partnership with Victoria HarbourCats Baseball Club this summer!

To celebrate the opening day of the season and encourage more young readers, we’re inviting local students to turn their daily reading into baseball tickets. Through recording 15 hours of reading on a Harvey’s Reading Club Reading Log, students can exchange their hard work for two free adult ticket vouchers – valid for any 2025 HarbourCats regular season home game.

The attached reading log can be printed at home or picked up in-store at Russell Books. Once filled out it can be returned to Russell Books to redeem tickets.

The most interesting (and rare) books in the store are housed in our vintage & collectable display cases. Exhibiting antiquarian treasures bound in vellum (dating back to the early 1600’s), leather-bound sets and vintage curiosities as well as modern first editions, signed and specialty copies our cases are always interesting! You can now check out some of the highlights of our cases on our website as well as learn about more of the vintage and collectable collections the store has to offer here.

We were honoured to be interviewed by Read Local BC for a “Meet Your Bookseller” feature. Check it out here.
