Our Books of Christmas Past special might be over, but we're keeping our free shipping going until the end of December! Just remember that books will not be shipped until our offices reopen in January.

We're closing the office for a much needed winter break! We'll be back on January 4th refreshed and ready to dive into a new season of books. Until then, we hope you have just the right book to read.

A wonderful review of Tim Bowling's The Dark Set in Canadian Literature:

A wonderful image from Susan Perly, the author of Stella Atlantis. As Susan said "Let there be light."

We're heading into Thanksgiving weekend and frankly, I'm feeling like the press has a fair amount to be thankful for given what is happening all around us. As a little thank you to our readers, we've made a couple of new excerpts available on our website. The first one is from Mark Sampson's All the Animals on Earth, a wonderfully dark, funny post-apocalyptic road story that might be just what you need to read right now. You can read the excerpt here: https://cdn.shopify.com...//All_the_Animals_on_Earth_sample.p And learn more about the book here: https://bookstore.wolsakandwynn.ca//all-the-animals-on-ear

Here's a note from our author, Richard Harrison, that I'd like to share with you all. Richard also wrote a wonderful essay about this experience that is included in our collection Locations of Grief: My TED talk on my experience of my mother's choice to accept medical assistance in dying, and of being there with her while it happened is now available online. Medical assistance in dying is here now, so where I was, any one in Canada could be. At the time, three years ago, I wa...s deeply unprepared for what would happen. And I'm hoping that what I've learned, and how I came to peace, and more, with it, will help others and encourage a broader discussion of the way we live with dying. I hope you are all well, and I hope you enjoy my talk. Youtube (TEDx channel) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfAPh_tdfgI TED.com - https://www.ted.com//richard_harrison_how_i_live_with_my_m
