I often get books from the library.  Unfortunately, they tend to be a
bit stale.

WBB used to be good, but last time I was in there (about a year ago)
they had only a poor selection, in place of what used to be an excellent
technical book section.  You'd think that being downtown and near
Ryerson & U of T, they'd have a bit better selection.
