The Sentimentalists by Johanna Skibsrud should be my first ebook read, read on the laptop with the kobo reader free download. Won the 2011 Giller and the small press in Nova Scotia, Gaspereau, (

On Songwriting by Bob Snider. Bob's lino-cut on the cover produced one at a time on a platen press, beautiful typography, each copy carefully bound in-house. They made a deal eventually with Douglas and McIntyre for a Friesen mass produced trade paperpack of
