I usually proceed like this:
- try to find out what book you need/is required from you
- go to amazon.ca and do a search with magic (well chosen) keywords
- read, compare, shop!
- both amazon.ca and chapters.indigo.ca offer great books though most of the 
time they are not in store. They deliver for free too, on top of a 30% 
discount most of the time.
