Prison Etiquette and Yoga Tennis at The Monkey's Paw

With so many venerable publishing houses struggling, it's encouraging to see innovation continues to thrive among the Canadian small presses. Thirty-year old Canadian publisher Guernica Editions recently relaunched its website by taking a bold step into the world of social media, courtesy of the small web development firm Tidal Lock. The new site is built around a searchable catalog of titles and authors, and allows for any individual book or author profile to be edited by anyone (with the oversight of Guernica's webmaster, who moderates the site), much like Wikipedia. Users are also welcome to upload book covers and author headshots.
