Now available: WEMORIES! 📍🛍️

From Mezzaluna Studio / Vikki Wiercinski, creator of the beloved Edmonton Is Fine map, comes a new edition of their Proustian fold-out guide to the largest mall in North America, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. These crowdsourced testimonials capture some of the countless stories and lore that surround West Edmonton Mall, from submarines to meet-cutes to fire-breathing dragons.

Arden’s summer reading plans, by contrast, are very much A Plan—she may have even finished her Ferrante run by the time you read this.

Alberta is home to more than 300 species of birds, and this beautifully produced new guide will take you through them all, from avocet (American) to yellowthroat (common).

David R. Scott and Gavin McKinnon’s FIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS OF ALBERTA (Heritage House Publishing) is already a hot ticket here at the shop, and a little birdie told me that’s only going to continue: the book is currently between printings, and won’t be available to order again until the end of the summer. We currently have a half-dozen copies on hand, while supplies last! 🐦

Summer reading is upon us! Here are some of our favourite books that capture the spirit of the warmer months (Picnic at Hanging Rock takes place in Australia, if you were wondering). Really, all reads are beach reads if you get sand in them.💡
