Aquila Books was started in 1984 in the basement of my home. Since then Aquila has grown, and we have now maintained a retail shop for over 20 years. We are located on the Trans-Canada Highway in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and are just 20 minutes away from the Calgary International Airport. If you are traveling west to the Canadian Rockies through Calgary, you can easily stop in at our shop. We have our own parking lot at the rear of the store and additional parking is close by if needed.

Our office hours are Monday to Saturday 10:30 - 5:30 and other times by appointment (we are closed on holidays). We are flexible in this and there is often staff in the store from 9-6 Monday to Saturday but please call ahead if you plan to stop by outside of regular office hours.

Our street address is: 826 16th Ave N.W. Calgary, AB T2M 0J9

Our phone number is: (403) 282-5832, (403) 282-2658, or (888) 777-5832. e-mail MAP

Our website is intended to convey the essence of the material we carry, but nothing beats browsing though our well organized store. We encourage people to stop in if in the area. Up to this time Aquila has issued only a few catalogues and has predominantly sold books out of our retail shop. We have been active at quoting customers throughout the world specific titles that they have requested. In the future, as so many other shops are doing, we will be increasing our presence on the world wide web and look forward to serving customers in this manner as well as through a traditional retail outlet.
