This past weekend, the Porcupine’s Quill was pleased to have a table at Word on the Street Toronto—that fantastic annual book fair that takes over Harbourfront Centre the last Sunday of September. We positively melted in the scorching heat, but it didn’t stop us from having a grand old time visiting with friends and fans in the big city. Thanks to all who stopped by and checked out our books—and maybe even purchased a few gems to take home!

If you weren’t able to make it, not to worry. We’ve got some photos to keep you in the loop. Many thanks as always to Don McLeod for providing some of these great snaps.

Setup time at Word on the Street happens bright and early. And a good thing, too, because the sun was blistering!

Tim overseeing the PQL table, full of lots of nice books, including hot-off-the-press copies of The Essential John Reibetanz and Pictographs.

A vendors eye view of the proceedings. Tons of books and bookish folk around!

And a wonderful time was had by all! Good times and great company made this year’s event a whole lot of fun–despite the excessive heat! Hope you enjoyed this little peek at this year’s festival.

Cheers,
