“a new chapter in the business of books...”
Welcome to Laurie’s Book Company, an
exciting new chapter in the business of books,
launched in September 2008 by well-known
Edmonton bookseller, commentator and literacy
advocate Laurie Greenwood.
Laurie’s Book Company offers a wide range of
events and services to readers young and old, and
to teachers, reading specialists and librarians across
Alberta. For example:
News & views will provide you with the latest
information on what’s happening in the world of books and, from time to time, you’ll also find Laurie’s candid comments and insider information on authors, publishers and reading trends.
Go to Laurie’s picks, to read her always-in-demand recommended reading lists,
featuring books of fiction, books of fact, and children’s literature.
Check out Laurie’s weekly book reviews on both CBC’s RadioActive with Peter Brown and Global TV’s First News.
Don’t miss the latest on Laurie’s Reading Series, an exciting initiative which brought some of the country’s finest authors to Edmonton and will continue to do so, on a regular basis. And, of course, Edmonton’s roster of terrific local authors will always be featured.
With the advent of this new venture, Laurie will now be able to devote significantly more time to a range of consulting services such as speaking engagements, school book fairs and an exciting new initiative, “Have Books Will Travel”.
And, you’ll find an ever expanding photo library highlighting recent events and a special page featuring “Laurie’s Doors” which in themselves tell an amazing story of 30 years in the book business!
