Balser's colourful photos and descriptions will make you want to spend your weekend browsing through your favourite bookstore or visit a bookstore you've never been to before.

Mabel's Fables is the latest bookstore featured in the Book Marks series. Balser writes, "Mabel's Fables is a kid-lit lover’s dream. A neighbourhood cornerstone on Mount Pleasant Road since 1988, this cheerful book store stocks the classic The Cat in the Hat, the trendy Twilight, and almost everything in between."

Wragg is in custody (part two)

Continued from Wragg is in custody.

When I go about in my town, I read the architecture, the design and layout of things about me; it is a language, too. If it can be said that we are what we eat, then surely we are what we see day after day, hour after hour. Boosterisms and slogans to the eye, an architectural determination to please by saying nothing but that which pleases (architecture can also play politics), can be wearying, disheartening. When I stand and stare at the back or the south walls of our new opera house, I say to myself: Wragg should be in custody.
