That’s right! Our ever-popular dinner series is back! With a few slight changes and a brand new crop of great Canadian authors for you to wine and dine with, we hope to make your dining experience with us even better than before. We are so looking forward to once again joining forces with our wonderful neighbours at The Fraser Cafe to bring you enjoyable evenings of great food, good drink, and fascinating authors!
Here’s how it works:
The evening starts at 5:30pm with dinner, followed by the author presentation and book signing. Tickets must be purchased in advance at the bookstore. The non-refundable cost is $60.00 which includes the cost of the meal (a set menu of three courses with a vegetarian option), tax and tip. All beverages are extra and will be charged at the end of the evening. The Fraser Cafe can accommodate all special dietary needs if informed in advance.
