Book Club picks from Coach House

We've added a book clubs section to our website, to help you and your book club sort through Coach House novels for possible book club selections. When you select a Coach House title, you'll not only be reading compelling, Canadian-authored books, you'll also be able to discuss how the book was made, as Coach House is one of only three Canadian publishers to print its books in house!

Remembering Paul Quarrington

Paul Quarrington, the musician and award-winning Toronto author of Whale Music, King Leary and, most recently, The Ravine has died. He was 56.

Quarrington, who was diagnosed with an advanced form of lung cancer last year, passed away on the morning of January 21, 2010.

Quarrington first published with Coach House in the late 70s. Coach House published and printed the Toronto author's first novel, The Service, in 1978.
