Catch Coach House at the 2009 conference of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs in Chicago, February 12-14.
Conference-long — Stop by Coach House table (#522) at any time to browse and our perennially fetching titles, including new poetry from Lambda winner Sina Queyras, Expressway (launching in Chicago on February 12)!
Coach House is attending the 2009 conference of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs in Chicago, February 12-14, and we promise more literary excitement than you can flash a badge at:
Sina Queyras follows on the tail of Lambda and Pat Lowther Award-winning Lemon Hound with the Chicago launch of her new book, Expressway. The expertly engineered volume hits the road on Thursday, February 12, at Links Hall.
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.
