Any Computer Bookstores Left?

Some years ago, Computer Book Source closed down in Edmonton, but
their Calgary store was still open.

Now, a web search for Computer Book Source only turns up out-of-date
entries for their Edmonton location. Another computer book store,
Nexus Computer Books, shows up for Calgary, but I saw a discussion
group posting to the effect that they, too, have closed down.

Are there any specialist computer book stores in Alberta yet?

I see that the same address in Calgary, 311 17th Avenue SW, is given
for both of them, so presumably it changed its name before closing.

Further web searching has found that this location is now store 83 of
"The Great Canadian Bagel". No doubt Grosvenor will have some venom to
spew at that.

I doubt it know.  Chapters and Indigo has a section.
