He only has four days left to move and sell an estimated 75,000 books. Remaining books that are unsold and can be packed will be shipped to a stor- age facility in Burlington. Since being notified to move on July 26, Ferrier has been working 12 -14 hour days to pack as many books as he could before the deadline. It wont be possible to move every- thing, so a large number of books and shelves will be left behind, according to Ferrier.

A 64-year-old Toronto man died yes- terday after being pinned under a vehi- cle at an Oakville self-serve scrap car yard. The man was removing parts from a car at B & D Auto Recycling, 702 Bronte Road yesterday afternoon when he became trapped under the vehicle. Police received a call at 4:25 p.m. and found the man dead at the scene. According to police, the victim was a regular customer at B & D, which lets customers remove auto parts from scrapped vehicles without supervision. Police say the victim arrived at 2 p.m. and was discovered by an employ- ee two hours later pinned underneath a scrapped minivan. Investigators believe the victim had raised the van with small portable jacks to remove exhaust parts when the vehi- cle toppled over pinning the man underneath. Emergency services were alerted and the victim was removed from underneath the motor vehicle and taken to Hamilton General Hospital.? Police believe the victim was dead for some time before help arrived. Police don't believe the incident is suspicious, but the coroner has ordered a forensic autopsy for this morning. The name of the victim is being withheld at the request of the family. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Oakville Criminal Investigation Bureau at 905- 825-4747 ext. 2204.
