It’s been another whirlwind year at the Quill—just how we like it! There have been so many opportunities to get out and interact with our fellow book lovers at home and abroad. Take a step back in time with us as we remember some of the highlights of this past year.
February 19, 2017: Opening reception for an exhibition entitled “Heading to Palooka-Ville: Seth and the Art of the Graphic Novel” at the Peel Art Gallery Museum + Archives in Brampton.

April 29, 2017: An impressive array of exhibitors—from printers to book binders to paper makers—flocked to the annual Grimsby Wayzgoose.
June 1, 2017: This year’s BookExpo took place at the Javits Center in New York. A fantastic show, as well as this porcupette’s first visit to the Big Apple.
June 10, 2017: It was unbelievably hot in the Windy City, but I still enjoyed the trip to Chicago for the Printers Row Lit Fest.
July 16, 2017: I had a fantastic time at the Detroit Book Fest. So many book lovers crowded Eastern Market to soak in the literary atmosphere.

Thank you all so much for making 2017 such a fun year! We hope to see you all very soon, perhaps at some of our various literary events cropping up in 2018.
Cheers,
