Long Overdue Post

By on August 10th, 2010

Here goes a bit of a round up of all the things I should have posted over the past couple weeks (in no particular order):

MHB Press
A new UK press specializing in finely bound limited edition signed horror titles (many of which have been long out of print).  With two books already set for pre-order and a half dozen more, by authors like Graham Masterson and Nancy Kilpatrick, waiting in the wings, this imprint is looking to have a great future in fine horror editions.

Punctuation Quiz
A little fun from a fellow Ottawa Press Gang member.  I scored 50%, dang caret/chevron mix-ups again!

Letterpress Exhibition at the Canteen Gallery
Printmaking artist and Ottawa School of Art Teacher, Guillermo Trejo, will be exhibiting his prints and letterpress works at the Canteen Gallery (238 Dalhousie in the Market) from Aug 6 to 22nd.

Google Says There’s 129,864,880 Different Books
According to one of their fancy algorithms and the book data found in online library catalogues and sites such as Worldcat.org, there are just shy of 130 million different books (excluding serials, A/V material, microfiche, and bad teen poetry).
And finally…
  
CAN-CON 2010
This year Ottawa plays host to the 3-day Canadian sci-fi focused convention from Aug 20-22nd at the Travelodge Hotel on Carling (near Westgate Mall).  It looks like the Bytown Bookshop will be the sole bookseller in the dealers room which could be very promising (or a bad omen).  With a Steampunk theme to liven things up, we hope to have a fun show and take in some of the convention events.  Hopefully see you there!
