Canadian Manda’s Annual Holiday Book Sale

Books get you chicks!

This painting is Jean-Francois de Troy’s Reading from Moliere. Don’t

ever say you never learned nuthin’ from reading this weblog.

Once a year, Canadian Manda Group, Canadian sales and marketing reps for 20 national and international publishers,

put on a sale where you can buy books at 50% off the suggested U.S.

retail price in Canadian Snow Pesos. For example, a book with a suggested US retail price of $10.00 in the US will sell for $5 Canadian.

That sales takes place for three days this week:

When: Wednesday, November 23rd through Friday, November 25th, 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Where: 165 Dufferin Street (south of King)

The poster for the sale boasts a variety of “calendars, art, gardening,

photography, sports, history, kids, fiction, travel, crafts, gift

products and much more!” I’ve been to this sale for the past couple of

years and have always emerged with Christmas presents for my more

book-oriented friends and family.
