While not totally related to computer books, there is a comic book store of interest right near the Eaton Centre. It's right beside World's Largest Bookstore. It has ooooodles of comic books for cheap. It's especially good for the collection books. I browsed by today and all of Dark Empire II was selling for $7. Not just one book--the entire collection.

I won't say how cheap I saw the DC Encyclopedia for because it just might make Dempsey cry
