In the tradition of the holidays, Coach House (like every other publisher and retailer in the universe) is having a holiday sale! But unlike others, our holiday sale comes with its own song.
Never content to do the bare minimum, we've devised The Twelve Days of CHristmas Sale, with a whopping 25% discount on a dozen different books (or categories of book) throughout December.

We're offering our holiday sale a month early! Here at Coach House, we're all about thinking ahead (sometimes). So, we're starting the holidays early for all you keeners and people who carry a bank balance! (We call those people 'The 1 %.')
Why watch a holiday special on television when you can watch one live, on stage? Bestselling and Griffin Poetry Prize-winning poet Christian Bök will be in Toronto to celebrate the publication of Eunoia: The Upgraded Edition.
Coach House will, as of February 14, offer free digital downloads with the purchase of any print edition (provided, of course, the book currently exists in e-format). You buy one of our print books, the electronic book is yours for the taking.
Sounds great, but how does it work? One of two ways:
Coach House founder and master printer Stan Bevington is this year’s recipient of the Robert R. Reid lifetime achievement award for excellence in book art. The award is given annually by the Alcuin Society, a non-profit dedicated to preserving and celebrating Canadian contributions to print culture.
Previous Robert R. Reid recipients include former Coach House typesetter and designer Glenn Goluska.
In a two-part interview with Coach House founder and master printer Stan Bevington, Nigel Beale, from the Biblio File podcast, delves into the intriguing combination of factors that inspired Bevington's passion for print culture and took Coach House to the forefront of Canadian book design.
The interview is both a journey through the history of technologies and typefaces, as well as an advice manual for collectors seeking rare pieces of Canadiana.
