Suzette Mayr's novel Monoceros has been included in Apple's iTunes 2011 Rewind!
The iTunes Rewind is where Apple highlights what they felt were the best titles of the previous year in their iBookstore. Coach House is thrilled that Monoceros, previously longlisted for the 2011 Scotiabank Giller Prize and named one of the Globe and Mail's top 100 titles of the year has been included in the iTunes Rewind.
In celebration of our ebook expansion, we've got a gem of an ebook deal happening this July. It's our Diversified Portfolio Sale! If you order any two print books from our online site, we'll deliver you the ebook of your choice absolutely free! It's our way of introducing you to some of the excellent ebooks we have available.
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.
