| - This location of BMV is really a small version of the main store on Bloor (see my previous review for 471 Bloor Street West), but seems to carry a smaller selection of used books. It stocks a lot of new publisher's overstock material on tables near the front, then has used books shelved along the walls and in the back, but also has a fair bit of new reprints mixed into the used sections. Literature and recent fiction seem to take up the largest portion of the store, and then there are 1-2 columns of other types of non-fiction like history, science, philosophy and religion. There are also a few columns of used DVDs behind the service counter.
Overall, not a bad place to check in at once in a while, but a much smaller selection than is available at the other 2 stores. The pricing is similar, generally between $4-10 for paperbacks and $10+ plus for hardcovers. (Incidentally, I think this is the first BMV location that I ever visited, since it was next to the dearly-departed World's Biggest Bookstore.)
