"My bookstore", Dencan Books in The Junction, is one of the few remaining in the Toronto area. Eddie is in his 70's and will retire in a year or two after liquidating his stock, and that will be about it I fear. Meanwhile he still buys, but he's very choosy. I have donated many books to one of the local hospitals, especially fiction (mystery, SF). They sell them to patients and visitors and it helps fund them. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
