Technical books a few years old can be hard to find on a retail shelf. 
Try the University of Toronto bookstore (College & St. George -- but they
may be just a wee bit busy now since it's textbook time) or the World's
Biggest Bookstore (just off Yonge a block above Dundas).  The former is
not as good as it used to be but it's still useful; the latter has a lot
of junk but also a fair number of decent books.

Alternatively, bear in mind that you can browse books in libraries.  The
U of T Engineering and Computer Science library is fairly well stocked,
and although you need a university connection to borrow from it, anyone
can come in and browse in the stacks.
