Closing Sale: all books are 50 per cent off at the Chapters at John and Richmond

Last month, we reported that the massive Chapters store next to the Scotiabank Theatre was closing, which was disappointing news for local book-lovers and bored movie-goers alike. There is an upside, though: until May 31, the giant outlet is selling off its stock at bargain-basement prices. All books are going for 50 per cent off, so now is the time to grab that copy of The Goldfinch you keep claiming you’re going to read—or the latest Shopaholic installment, if that’s more your speed. And, while you’re at it, you can bid farewell to one of the few decent bookstores in the downtown core.
