Buy em cheap, sell em cheap. Alternatively, do live half price books and hobby lobby and sell them at mediocre prices but offer coupons and sales incessantly.

My local used book store is absolute piss. Not a single good book from what I've seen.

Actually, here's their catalog, if you guys can find any good books, I'll go there and buy them myself.

Canada truly is hell for books. I live in a fairly large city with quite a few used book stores and plenty of good wills and value villages and the best i've seen were some of shakespeare's plays that looked like they were about to fall apart. Maybe i just need to look harder, or maybe this is just my punishment for living in blue collar hell.

How large? I don't think there's a book you can't find in Toronto or Montreal.

Shipping to Canada from the United States is hell. For some reason shipping from the UK to Canada is much cheaper.
