But I would expect that from a flagship store. I was at Chapter's at Square One
last night (helping someone else out with finding computer books), and didn't
see any of these titles.
So I guess, there is only one bookstore in all of Ontario (outside of the
universities) that carries the classics, namely WBB. I don't consider that to
be
any kind of vindication whatsoever. In fact, I think it just emphasizes the
problem. If you live outside of Toronto, you're screwed.
But my main point isn't really about who carries the classics. It is more about
supporting the same points brought up elsewhere in this thread, that the level
of variety has suffered immensely since any meaningful competition has really
been smoked out, and the variety and intelligence level of the books has
suffered greatly since then.
