Here in BC, Canada, the shops that sell them for $1 or 2 are vanishing, at least in my experience.
I'm now used to seeing $4-6 for a used pocketbook on the shelf.
I'd like to recommend for anyone on Vancouver Island - the excellent Literacy Nanaimo bookstore though! Very fair prices and a fun eclectic selection - and the profits go to their own literacy programs for Adults.
