What people are saying:

I took in Idea Exchange a week ago with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove. It was my first Aqua Books event ever, and it was a blast. The room is beautiful, the mood inviting, the ideas rich. Thanks. - Kurt

FEATURED NEW ARRIVALS FOR THE WEEK OF 3/24/08


PLEASE NOTE: This is the last New Books page before our move in April 2008. Due to the absolute chaos of renovating our new 8400 sq. ft. building on Garry, we have only been putting fifty books on this page for the last few weeks (instead of the usual hundred or so). The New Books page will return to full strength after our re-opening.

(To hold or order any of these books [or to check on current availability], please email kelly@aquabooks.ca.)
