the ottawa small press book fair, spring 2013: some reports,

More than a couple of folk have been good enough to do little write-ups, reports or articles from the spring edition of our semi-annual fair. Thanks so much for reports on the fair itself, the pre-fair reading, or both, from Amanda Earl, Brandon Crilly and Cameron Anstee, a photo-spread by Greg Macdougall up on Facebook, and even an article by Jared Davidson at Jam Jar Words. Christian McPherson built and provided the very attractive signage, photographed by the lovely Christine McNair, outside. I even did two blog posts on items I picked up at the fair, here and here. Might we see you at the fall event in mid-October (watch this space for details, soon), as we celebrate nineteen glorious years?
