Pages requests memories for send-off bash

Pages Books & Magazines may be closing its doors for good at the end of August, but not without throwing itself a massive send-off party. Pages staffer and event organizer Chris Reed has sent out a message to members of the This Is Not a Reading Series Facebook group requesting reminiscences, photographs, memorabilia, etc., of the iconic downtown Toronto store’s 30 years in business.

We are collecting material to be presented at “Afterword: A Celebration Of 30 Years,” an event presented by Pages Books & Magazines, Coach House Books, Gladstone Hotel, NOW Magazine, Spacing Magazine, and This is Not A Reading Series, to be held at Gladstone Hotel on Sept 8.

What has Pages Books meant to you over the years? Tell us your tale. Do you have photos? We’d love to see them!

If you have memories or photos you’d like to share, send them to my.pagesbooks.story@gmail.com by August 24.
