Words Worth Books is a famous, full service general bookstore that has been a community fixture in Waterloo, Ontario, since 1984. Previously the owners, Chuck Erion & Tricia Siemens, carried on a bookstore business for seven years in Mount Forest, Ontario, a small town north of Guelph. Unlike the chain stores, an independent store such as Words Worth Books strives to provide a broad range of interesting books and magazines backed by a knowledgeable staff prepared to special order any in-print title not currently in stock.
