The monster BMV on Bloor is excellent. <BR/><BR/>Book City opened a Queen St west location on my walk home. Perfect to stop in and look around. <BR/><BR/>Book City is also great about ordering in titles. Really helpful staff. <BR/><BR/>(I hope to meet you at ScienceOnline, John!)Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831412.post-75283552362438192072009-01-05T11:12:00.000-05:002009-01-05T11:12:00.000-05:00Absolutely, David.

I don't really have a good independent book store anywhere near my home or work (unless the univ bookstore counts...), so I do end up buying a lot at Indigo.John Dupuishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829396649299444557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831412.post-45715625389890262602009-01-03T21:56:00.000-05:002009-01-03T21:56:00.000-05:00What's important about the excerpt is that he (and...What's important about the excerpt is that he (and you) list good independent bookstores. I would be perfectly happy to live in a world without Indigo-Chapters. I go into the local Chapters pretty regularly, but I never really buy anything there. But every time I go into Wordsworth, the small indie bookstore in downtown Waterloo, I spend far more than I should, even though it has a fraction of titles that Chapters does.<BR/><BR/>It just has the good stuff.David J.
