Default Developer reference books

I normally get any reference books I need from places online, but a guy I work with was just talking to me and he needs a current Biz Talk reference for today. He checked with Chapters.ca and according to the website none of the local stores have what he needs.

I know there used to be a few specialty book stores around town but I'm not sure if they still exist.

Anyone have any ideas of good local places he should check out?

Perhaps U of C, MRU or SAIT bookstores?

Nothing either bookstore that's in stock, I can access many BizTalk e-books from academic libraries but it won't help your friend. Does he have any academic access credentials?

If it's an emergency he could use the peg-leg and eyepatch method to download some e-books and access from a tablet or laptop.

It isn't an emergency, just a project and the references supplied have turned out to be lacking. It just means there will be a lot more hunt 'n peck slowing the process down for a while.

And no, there are not academic credentials that can be accessed.

I still keep a subscription for this for when I need access to a book but don't want to buy it.
