A bit off-topic, but are you aware that the sequel was just released? That may also mean that you'll be able to find copies of the original in remainder bins and/or used book stores.

Best price for Freakonomics
A few years too late, but anyone know the best price for Freakonomics alongside with the location?
Looking to keep it downtown Toronto.
Thanks!

Nov 2nd, 2009 03:31 PM #6I no longer live in Tronno but when I did there were a couple on Bloor west of Bathurst. (One was Book City IIRC.) There are also some near Spadina and Harbord. Originally Posted by Jay Hova

Nov 2nd, 2009 04:08 PM #7LOL, yeah I would but I want to read this on the GO (45 minutes, twice a day) so it'd be better just to pay for it - ideally looking for < $15. Originally Posted by bylo

BMV has locations around Toronto, gently used (often new) books. I don't think I've seen Freakonomics in my travels there.

Nov 2nd, 2009 05:18 PM #11World's Biggest Book store is owned by Chapters/Indigo and only sells new books. That said, there is a decent BMV next door which sells used books. Originally Posted by originalnutta

I have a copy I'd sell you for $5. Hardcover, but the sleeve is missing, so it's plan white with the name/authors in metallic green on the spine. PM me if interested, I work downtown.

World's biggest bookstore (is it actually?) has a BMV right next to it that sells used books. BMV is sortuva garage-sale affair so you may get lucky there.

Saw it for $15 at my school's bookstore.
But bought the sequel SuperFreakonomics for $17+tax with the 25% off coupon posted in the Hot Deals. Marked down from $36.99. Reply With Quote
