When you walk through the doors of Blue Heron Books you feel as if you’ve come home. The warmth and personal touch of Shelley Macbeth and her staff is exceeded only by the fabulous and extensive selection of books available. Young, old, and everyone in between will find the perfect book. Blue Heron Books is a true gem. — Kathy Kacer
Hello, Blue Heron -
Your customers and local book clubs may be interested to know that a play called “After Mrs. Rochester”, based on the life of author Jean Rhys (who wrote an acclaimed prequel to “Jane Eyre” titled “Wide Sargasso Sea”) gets its Canadian premiere at Toronto’s Alumnae Theatre, Sept 23 – Oct 7.
Read all about it at http://alumnaetheatre.com/1112after.html.
Alumnae Theatre is located at the corner of Berkeley & Adelaide Streets in Toronto.
Tickets range from Pay-What-You-Can (Sunday matinees) to a very affordable $20. Cash only at the door. Reserve seats by phone (416-364-4170, box 1) or e-mail (reservations@alumnaetheatre.com).
There is a paid parking lot two blocks south on Berkeley, just south of Front Street, opposite Canadian Stage.
Dining suggestions nearby: Skal Rockbar (good food, reasonable prices) on Adelaide, across from the theatre) or Betty’s (King Street east of Sherbourne).
We've listened in for years, but this year CBC Books turned the spotlight on Blue Heron Books, naming it the Independent Bookseller for the month of January.

Please tell me when the Books and Authors night is September 2011.
Will you please tell me the expected authors as well?
I just love the evening and want to put it on my calendar (as well as my neighbours).
Thanks
Judy
