 Bob Dylan – The Bob Dylan Scrapbook 1956 - 1966
Bob Dylan needs no introduction, but we would like to introduce you to The Bob Dylan Scrapbook 1956-1966. Featuring over 100 photographs, handwritten lyrics and rare memorabilia, this illustrated biography would make a great addition to a music lovers library.
Warren Kinsella – Fury's Hour, A (sort-of) Punk Manifesto
Warren Kinsella took a highly unusual career path. He went from being a member of a Calgary punk rock band, to becoming a lawyer and then a spin-doctor in the Chretien government. With his latest book, Fury's Hour, A (sort-of) Punk Manifesto, he puts aside politics and returns to his musical roots.
Video Vixen – Confessions of a Video Vixen
Karrine Steffans is one of Hip Hop's most infamous characters... but she's not a recording artist. She's a video background dancer whose nick-name was Super-Head. And she's had love affairs with some of the biggest names in the business: Usher, Bobby Brown, Vin Diesel - and as you will soon learn, many more. Needless to say her book Confessions of a Video Vixen is on the New York Times best selling list and Steffans is dancing all the way to the bank.
Margaret Atwood – The Myth Series
The Myth series has been 6 years in the making and this October it's launch time for the global publishing project. The idea: Get well known writers from around the world to retell classic myths for the modern day. Then publish the whole lot at the same time.
Margaret Atwood is Canada's representative and we got her take on myths and what they mean today.
Grey Owl
Grey Owl may have been the first multicultural environmental hero, making headlines around the world with his work in Canada's north. But today most Canadian's only know about the masquerade trick he played on the entire world. Hip Hop activist DJ RA hopes to change that with his public campaign aimed at bringing Grey Owl story back into public consciousness.
Neil Gaiman – Anansi Boys
Neil Gaiman is as close to a rock star as an author can become. I mean who else could pack a church with a 1000 fans for a reading of his latest novel Anansi Boys. He's part novelist and comic book creator, screen writer and a full-time super hero his fans.
Jemeni – BookTelevision Provocation
Resident Co-host the Morning Rush at Flow 93.5, devoted poet, spoken word artist and author of many published poems including America Eats It's Young (featured in the book Bum Rush the Page), Jemeni brings us a new view of the world in this BookTelevision Provocation.
