We look different! More colourful, and with an updated navigation built around the kinds of content you’ve told us you look for most often. Our new look and feel works as well on your phone as it does on your desktop, and the site is now entirely accessible for print-disabled readers as well.

Our redesign is not yet complete—we’ll be building on this initial release in the weeks ahead—but we are excited, and we hope you are, too!

Over the rest of the summer we’ll be polishing and adding new features and content, basically doing all we can to give you, our beloved readers, a better user experience. But one thing hasn’t changed: you can count on us to keep on showcasing the best in Canadian books.

Enjoy!

Your friends at 49th Shelf
