The happenings in and around Cliffside Village Books
As you may know I have spent the past two days doing some minor renovations in the shop. I’m so used to minor renovations quickly turning into major ones that I was prepared for the worst. Luckily this time around that was not the case, everything went according to...
There is a lovely little dentist office, called Blossom Dental Care, at Midland and Lawrence. They wrote a very nice review of Cliffside Village Books on their website, check it out http://dentalimplantsscarborough.ca/local-reviews/read-cliffside-village-books/
We had a wonderful poetry reading in the shop the other day. Author James Wylder read from his book An Eloquence of Time and Space, a Doctor Who themed poetry book. There were some old fans, some (relatively) new fans, and some soon-to-be-made-into-fans fans. All in all it was...

Every morning I sit on the bus with my nose stuck in my latest read, one ear listening for the robotic woman to announce Sandown Ave. As she calls my stop, I close the book and look out the window waiting to catch a glimpse of the shop from...
Every business needs a business card (apparently) so I looked at some printing house websites to get an idea of prices and styles and whatnot. The endeavour proved much to boring for me so I mostly just stared at the computer screen and daydreamed. Luckily I know this guy,...
