The University of Ottawa Press (UOP) is celebrating World Book and Copyright Day, April 23, by hosting an Open House and Great Toonie Book Sale.
The event will run from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. at 542 King Edward.
You can choose from a wide variety of books – not just UOP books – at only $2 each.
Editor-in-chief, Ruth Bradley-St-Cyr, invites the University community to meet the staff, learn about the Press and about publishing in general, and get acquainted with 68 years of publishing history in the newly restructured archival library.
The publishing house has undergone several metamorphoses since its inception in 1936. Although it has been publishing about 10 books a year for the last few years, the Press is well on the way to tripling that number in 2004.
Co-hosting the event is the Canadian Journal of Development Studies, celebrating 25 years of publishing on the developing world. Free samples of the journal are available and the current issue, a special edition on International Development Studies in Canada, will be on sale for only $5 (regular price $25). Back issues will also be available for only $2 each.
