Bookish Toronto

This morning I went to see the important sights of Toronto. Those, naturally, are the Judith Merril Collection at the Public Library, and Bakka Books. I may have done a bit of an ego scan at the Merril, but I did also look out for my authors. I got a tour of the stacks (thanks Kim!) and was delighted to see that one of the index cards on the novel collection said that stack started with Juliet McKenna.

After a very pleasant lunch with Madeline Ashby, I did a quick interview with her, which will be online sometime after I get back. Then she kindly took me up to Bakka where I may have bought several books. In particular I pounced on Chris Moriarty’s Ghost Spin, which I have been waiting for since Emerald City days.

Bakka is a lovely little shop, and one of the few SF&F specialists left. Toronto is very lucky to have it.
