A while back, I bemoaned the lack of a bookstore devoted to things like graphic design, typography, calligraphy, architecture and other such topics of interest here in Ottawa. We used to have such a store on one or two occasions, the Architectural Book Store first, and then - by accidental consequence of their main business for a while there, Computer Supplyhouse. The first shut down, and the second now seems to be working at completely getting out of bookselling in order to focus on computer hardware.
It is a joy to pass the word along that another store is in the process of picking up where those stores have left off. It's called the Canteen Art Shop, on 238 Dalhousie on the eastern edge of the ByWard Market.
A particularly pleasant surprise was finding one volume devoted to nothing but bar design! A bit on the pricey side it was, but I still wish I'd had that book handy when I was working on at least one earlier comics project! Maybe the public library can be talked into stocking it in the collection as a hedge against future needs of cartoonists of all skill levels?
