The Georgia Straight, CBC Radio One 690 & Zin Restaurant present

Straight off the Page

Sunday, April 21, 200

 

This was the inaugural Straight off the Page event, organized in celebration of B.C. Book and Magazine Week and honouring some of the nominees for the 2002 B.C. Book Prizes. They behaved themselves better than one might imagine, and made friends with guests and staff. In fact, the staff were most pleased with the authors. We will be inviting these authors back.

The event took place on Sunday, April 21, at 2 p.m. at Zin Restaurant (1277 Robson Street). For a map, click here.
