The natural products industry is really an information business. Books and magazines are integral part of the information process. Whole Foods has several excellent reference books that are always available for anyone to access.
We sell a wide selection of books relating to nutrition, health and cooking. One of the most popular books in all health products stores is "Prescription of Natural Healing" Be sure to check it out.
Our biggest supplier of books is Alive Books. Check them out in our vitamin and supplement department where we have a special display of their best publications.
We are also pleased to have a great number of "alternative" publications available with subjects like yoga, cooking, gardening, woodworking, environment, women's issues etc. Check out the magazine rack beside the front til.
Last but not least, we carry all local, provincial and national newspapers including the Herald, Issues, Western, Province, Sun, Globe and Mail and National Post. You will find a free copy of the Herald in our Juice Bar every day.
In our opinion, an excellent portal for national and international news is www.theglobeandmail.com.
