Looks like Collected Works is about to close:

Collected Works has always been accommodating to my writing circle which has met there for about four years. They have expanded and are renovating the store. I personally have never found them unexpectedly closed. Very writer-friendly.

personal opinion:
- The hours are erratic (though they appear to currently be open until 9, I have tried to go several times at 6:30pm and seen them closed... the entire neighbourhood shuts down at 6pm except on Thursdays)
- selection is nothing special (nothing you can't find at indigo stores)
- parking is a hassle during the winter
- the store itself is very nice
- the staff are nice

Not my favorite, but if I lived in walking distance I would frequent it. One of the better independents certainly.
