There are some excellent selections today at the 27th Street Book Box. I can recommend Inishowen by Joseph O’Connor and also an excellent compendium of Indian writing, not to mention a biography of the late Doc Watson. These books are of course free for the taking. You’re welcome to take some home to enjoy. You can keep them or return them, or you can contribute to the book box by dropping off some books you think others will enjoy. The book box works best when you contribute books you really like!

The 27th Street Book Box is located in front of our place on 27th Street here in Toronto just up a few houses from Lake Prominade. You’ll know you’ve found it when you see the curious structure near the sidewalk with the sign featuring the head of a Newfoundland dog and the words Books Rock.  There’s a funny story associated with this sign. Tuffy P had it made up at a kiosk at the Canadian National Exhibition. However, the fellow who did the work assumed the sign was for a place, so he originally made one for us that read: Book’s Rock, even though Tuffy provided no apostrophe.
