Excerpt from Canadian Book Review Annual

Everyone loves a bargain, and perhaps enjoys hunting for them just as much. So this guide to the offbeat, the cheap, and the obscure places to buy and dine around Victoria could be the key to getting your money's worth--no small achievement in a city with a new reputation for being among the most expensive places in Canada. To say that the authors have done their homework might be an understatement, for they must have put in countless hours of research, and maybe worn out considerable pairs of shoes, to compile this book: they've managed to include bargain sources for nearly every taste. Want to know where to buy good maternity wear cheap? There's a listing of eight places in Victoria. Like old books but want to avoid those literary rip-off artists along Antique Row? Victoria's Best Bargains lists more than a score of reasonably priced second-hand bookstores, as it does for every other conceivable kind of purchase, from low-cost linoleum and discount earthworms to once-worn Paris evening gowns and cheap places to get your car fixed, from little-known charity sales and flea markets to cut-rate stores. The book indexes 12 pages of categories of bargain items available around Victoria. Not least of interest are economical eating-places, rare finds in a town notorious for costly restaurants. This book's a bargain in itself. (review by Sidney Allinson for Canadian Book Review Annual
