"You could almost say she’s a female equivalent of Clark Kent"

We're super honoured to be hosting the Windsor launch of in-house designer/Jill-of-all-trades Kate Hargreaves' new book next week. On Thursday, October 9th @ 7PM she will be launching Leak alongside Louis Cabri (Posh Lust, New Star) and Tom Dilworth (Here, Away, Bookthug).

For more info on Leak, check out this review from The Urbanite, excerpted below.

Hargreaves’ mild-mannered book designer attitude conceals her wanton aggressive manipulation of verse and wheeled foes. If you saw her cycling down the street, you probably wouldn’t recognize in her the assistant captain for Border City Brawlers. You could almost say she’s a female equivalent of Clark Kent. Her true superpower, however, is shown in beautifully written verse.

The Pope's Bookbinder Receives Honourable Mention from the Alcuin Society

Well we've thought for almost a year now that David Mason's The Pope's Bookbinder was one of our handsomest productions, and it seems that others agree. Want the specs? We printed it as a 6x9 hardback (boards Rainbow BB with a foil-embossed spine), jacket in uncoated Mohawk Feltweave, with the text on 55lb Rolland offset cream with 80lb gloss art paper for the photo spread. The vintage-looking Faber and Faber-inspired cover has been a hit with bibliophiles across the country. The endpapers were taken from a painting of David Mason's Gerrard St. store by Ruth Jackson. And we haven't even got to the limited-edition leatherback copies, hand-bound by Dan Mezza out of London, Ontario ....

Congratulations to David, to typesetter Chris Andrechek, and cover designer Kate Hargreaves. Well done!
