Please join us on Thursday, September 9, 2010 to celebrate at our annual Wayzgoose! Throughout the age of the printed word, the Wayzgoose has been an entertainment given by a master printer to his workmen each summer's end (when the season of working by candlelight began). At the Coach House Wayzgoose, friends and readers can visit the Coach House, take self-guided tours of the premises, have a few refreshments, peruse the book table and hobnob with authors, publishing figures and neighbourhood locals.
It's our ice cream sandwich of book sales! For a limited time this summer, we're offering a wide swath of our backlist titles at 50% off when ordered through the Coach House site. Many of your favourite backlist titles can be obtained at a sweet half-price discount through the Baby Got Backlist Sale! Stock up for your summer (and fall and winter) reading now.
Normal shipping charges apply. Sale ends August 31, 2010.
