In the tradition of auction houses releasing record breaking results from their latest auction, here is a
photo recap of our annual fundraising book auction of great Canadian designed books.

And the winning bid goes to...

The hottest item that went under the hammer was without a doubt the obscure and mysterious
Komma: After Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got his Gun by Antonia Hirsch published by the Vancouver contemporary art publisher
Fillip, a book with nothing but commas! I don't remember what the final hammer price was, but it received a raucous applause!

There were lots of other great books to be had, enough for everyone to take home a bargain and a few well fought over treasures too. Our silent auction also offered a chance to bid on some rare and valuable limited editions that were donated to help support our awards program. Thanks to all those who participated!
