She Said Boom!

Located a few blocks west of U of T, this downtown shop welcomes those with an intellectual bent. Shelves are cram­med with literature, art and history books, plus an eclectic music selection. Book picks consist of new, used and remainders (a hardcover copy of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States sold for $28, down from $55). Second-hand titles can be found for as little as $10. In music, pop takes a back seat to the likes of Woody Guthrie and Miles Davis; the standard price for a used CD is $9.99 or less.
