Coach House is Canada’s most venerable literary press and has, during the past forty years, published books by Michael Ondaatje, George Bowering, bpNichol, Nicole Brossard, Christian Bök, Guy Maddin, Steve McCaffery, Gail Scott, Jonathan Goldstein, Anne Michaels, Michael Redhill and hundreds of others. A refuge for the refined, an asylum for the aesthete, a sanctuary for the scribe."

Reading Chair















David Karoff created a 'reading chair' made of 238 paperbacks! Apparently his mom is a volunteer at the local library, and she collected these books from customer donations. They were the left-overs that didn't sell, so they were heading for the trash bin, but Karoff used them for an art project instead!
