Have you read a Coach House title recently? Did you enjoy it? Hate it? Why don't you tell us how fiercely you loved it or violently you loathed it in video form?
HarperCollins UK is holding a cover design competition with Saatchi Online for the UK edition of Sean Dixon's The Girls Who Saw Everything, titled The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal across the pond.
To celebrate the publication of Pulpy and Midge, the great magazine Maisonneuve wants you to enter their Pulpy and Midge 'Bad Boss' Contest by sending them your tyrannical boss stories! <!--newline--><!--newline-->Make up the names, don't mention the company (we're not looking to get sued here), and send us your harrowing tales of terrible, incompetent and just plain sadistic bosses.
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.
