  Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: Press Release: Bakka Move
Bakka, the world's oldest science-fiction specialty bookstore, moved yesterday to a new location in Toronto — aided by a team of writers, readers, and other booksellers.
When Bakka first opened on Queen Street West in 1972, the area was a mecca for book lovers, with a dozen specialty, used, and antiquarian bookstores.
Bakka specializes in science fiction, fantasy, and horror, and has always made a point of vigorously promoting Canadian authors.

  Bakka Magazine
Bakka Magazine was started on the idea that social awareness and change can flow from the ink of the proverbial pen; hence, the magazine takes its name from the Lao word for a writing instrument.
Bakka’s mission is to provide a forum for fine writing and original thought with a Laotian angle by offering an eclectic selection of writing in English and Lao, pursuing this goal with sense of humor and irreverence.
We at Bakka hope that our content will engage, intrigue, inspire, or make you smile and, thus keep you reading for many years to come.

  Bakka-Phoenix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bakka used to have a substantial stock of used, as well as new, books, but when Jack Brooks left the store, the emphasis shifted almost entirely to new material; Brooks now runs his own, entirely used, bookstore, Brooks' Books, in Oakville, Ontario.
In 2002, in honor of the store's 30th anniversary, The Bakka Anthology, containing new stories by all of these writers, with an introduction by Spider Robinson, was published.
The store first opened at 282 Queen Street West in Toronto, moved in March 1998 to 598 Yonge Street in Toronto (in the same building as the LGBT bookstore Glad Day), and relocated in March 2005 to 697 Queen Street West in Toronto.

Bakka tapped a few keys, and the camera zoomed in on Li’chinde’s belt, which now held a new skull; a small one that would be none other than that of an ooman’s.
Bakka had seen him run off towards the camp as well, and when he had left, Bakka had approached the New Bloods with the idea of going on the ooman hunt.
Bakka hovered low over the student who was armed with a spear gun, aiming it at a rather puny ooman.

 Planet of Game
Bakka, the Blooded guarding the west side, was holding a panel that monitored ooman activity.
Bakka had already used the last of his field charge and had resorted to fending them off with a combi-spear; melee combat had never been his strong suit, and it showed now as he fended off the Hard Meat from the students, all of whom were out of ammo.
Bakka was issuing orders to the students to drag their kills back to the ship so that the Blooding ceremony could be held.
