Quick reminder that next Wednesday Graham Roumieu will be launching his new book: Cat & Gnome here at Librairie D&Q! And for the Month we have an amazing collection of Graham's original work hanging in the store. Definitely worth stopping by the store to see them!
Here is a look at a few of the pieces that are included in the show:
 So stop by for the launch, or come check out the show; all art work is for sale!

It can't be just us: the store is featured on the cover of Cyril Doisneau's freshly published comic-travelogue, 184 Rue Beaubien. There may be a few differences between the two, but there are more similarities than anything else between our bookstore (photo by Daviel Lazure-Vieira) and the one gracing the cover of La Pasteque's new baby. Can you imagine our gleeful squeals when the books got here? I bet you can.
The book is the pleasant and sincere diary of the author's day to day life as a french immigrant in Montreal. I may be pushing my luck, but I wonder if this is the 211 store too... Either way, thanks to Cyril and La Pasteque for the nod, and for this endearing portrait of our city as well.

Check out this catalog of coming goodies! Two (2) new Eggers books coming out soon.

The first four issues of Michael Kupperman's hit comic strips series, Tales Designed to Thrizzle, are finally collected into one deluxe hardcover! Even better, Kupperman has turned the original two-color pages into full color goodness!
Litterally jam-packed with strips that constantly vary in sizes, this book shines with Kupperman's earth-shattering wit, his excellent vintage-comics-inspired draftsmanship and his genius comedic timing. Thanks Fantagraphics!

You'll Never Know by C.Tyler arrived this week. It is book one of a planned three part series about Carol Tyler's Father's time in WWII and the effect it has had on himself and everyone surrounding him. This book has been receiving a fair amount of attention lately, so I won't say too much: it is funny, moving, sad -- Highly recommended.

 We've been wanting to have Graham Roumieu do something at the the store for quite some time; First we racked our brains: "How can we convince him to come?" We contacted publishers, called friends.. had a brainstorming session.. Finally someone found his email on his website et voila= We present to you:
Launch for Graham Roumieu's Cat & Gnome
Librairie Drawn & Quarterly
Wed, July 8th 7pm @ 211 Bernard Ouest
Graham Roumieu, creator of the autobiography of Bigfoot books, launches his latest book Cat & Gnome, a tale so powerful it would make Shakespeare swallow is pen and crap out butterflies (citation needed). Enjoy an evening of presentations, stunts, Q&A's, general milling-about and chit-chat about new and old works by Graham hanging in the store.
Graham Roumieu is the creator of Cat & Gnome, 101 Ways to Kill Your Boss, Bigfoot: I Not Dead, Me Write Book: It Bigfoot Memoir, and In Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot. He has contributed illustration work to The New York Times, Men's Journal, Harper's, The Atlantic, The Walrus, The Guardian and many other publications and campaigns. Graham currently works out of his home in Toronto and at the Ontario College of Art And Design as a sessional instructor for the Faculty of Design.
Graham's work will be up from June 26th - July 31st
