TOQUE begins tomorrow!  Come out and support the Western Front and a great variety of local vendors, and be sure to visit the cocktail bar and sausage stand tomorrow night.  Plus come back on Saturday for baked treats and a kid's craft table (and more great shopping).

TOQUE will take place, as always, in the Western Front's legendary "Grand Luxe Hall".  It's looking especially grand these days.

See you tomorrow night!

Publication Studio Vancouver returns to Toque this year!

Publication Studio publishes an innovative series of books produced on-demand and by hand in their studio. Founded by Keith Higgins and Kathy Slade in 2010, they are part of a network of Publication Studios in other cities including Portland, Berkeley, Boston, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. They mainly publish books by artists, including books by Myfanwy MacLeod, Mina Totino, Dan Graham, Michael Turner, and others.  They also have reclaimed out-of-print and under-appreciated books and given them new life, in series like the Everyday Library, which includes books like Hutchins Hapgood's The Spirit of the Ghetto and Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor; and Apparitions, a series of volumes of literary tales of the fantastic which includes stories by Oscar Wilde, Sarah Coleridge, and E.T.A. Hoffmann. Publication Studio will be bringing these books, as well as a collection of distinctive notebooks and the popular "little bag of little books" to Toque again this year.
