I wonder if these days the good stuff is all online, leaving only 
consumer-ish titles (dummies' series, or the books that look like good 
value because they're 900 pages) on store shelves.

I did a little looking on Indigo's website for some stuff recently. I 
found that many of the better-reviewed books I was looking for are 
available to ship immediately, but the only store that seemed to have 
any stock was the one next to (not inside) Square One. In Toronto, 
World's Biggest should be better, but that doesn't mean it _is_ better.

Then again, that's all Chapters/Indigo/Coles. The only major competition 
seems to be Amazon.

Of course, come September the bookstores at York, Ryerson and UofT will 
have lots of stock too.
