– WILL FERGUSON
THE POLLEY EFFECT
Sarah Polley is an actress and Oscar-nominated screenwriter and director. Her 2012 documentary, Stories We Tell, debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival .
She began acting in the early ’90s, rising to fame as Sara Stanley on Road to Avonlea. From a young age, Polley has used her celebrity to speak out about social injustice. Now in her 30s, Polley is a trusted voice for culture in Canada and an icon for a generation.
She lives in Toronto with her husband and young daughter. @SarahEPolley

Oscar-nominated screenwriter and renowned director Sarah Polley moves from the silver screen to the written page, delving into the complex relationships between brothers and sisters. The result? A very funny collection of family stories and a telling snapshot of a generation.
In her playful memoir, Polley recalls growing up with her four siblings and the shit they did together. From intense rivalries to embarrassing traditions, she cleverly ties her brothers’ and sisters’ childhood antics and behaviours to the way they relate to each other as adults. In doing so, Polley shows us that it’s our brothers and sisters who teach us the most about ourselves. This charming book will have readers remembering everything they love and love to hate about their own brothers and sisters.

“SORON WRITES WITH STYLE, HUMOUR, AND PASSION ABOUT THE WAYS CO-OP
COMMUNITIES ARE SHAPING AND RESHAPING FAMILY LIFE”
- ALEX SAMUR, EDITOR OF RABBLE.CA
@pavepub 7
Over 18 million co-op members in Canada have discovered the simple brilliance of sharing. The resurgence of co-op culture is here.
Co-op Culture is an inspirational how-to guide about the co-operative movement, blending powerful personal stories about real co-ops with practical tips for starting your own.
Author Mike Soron explores co-ops for housing, car sharing, household tools, community gardens, kitchen gadgets, local food, and more. Soron gives an on-the-ground perspective — from the environmental benefits of car sharing, to profiles of tool co-ops that are helping build communities. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to live better for cheaper.

Julie Wilson, the queen of literary voyeurism, assembles a panel of award–winning authors, poets, and editors to create the definitive guide for what to read when.
Read Findley the first time you get fired. Save Barney’s Version for a bad breakup. Canada’s new lit nerds dish on when to crack the classic novels you’ve been meaning to read. Each has expertly woven in their own stories of how these books shaped them as readers, as writers, and as people during pivotal life moments. Read together, these stories show us the one thing all great literature has in common: it changes us, forever.

– DOUGLAS COUPLAND
@pavepub 11
A stunning snapshot of the street art movement in Vancouver and the unsung artists who bring life to the city’s streets.
While street art is going mainstream, as a cultural movement it still lurks behind concealed identities and late-night shadows. Author Timothy Taylor sheds light on these artists and the work that has earned them a place in the lifeblood of Vancouver.
This beautiful collection of Rain City’s ephemeral art captures the soul of the city and the people who live to create it.
