Nice coverage of the event on CTV Montreal website. Apparently folks are going to have trouble finding pBook edition of the winning book.
Quote:
Thirty-year-old Montreal author Johanna Skibsrud became the youngest recipient of the $50,000 Scotiabank Giller Prize on Tuesday night, but readers may have trouble finding her winning novel, "The Sentimentalists."
That's because her Nova Scotia-based publishing house, Gaspereau Press, makes its hand-crafted books locally and can only print about 1,000 copies of "The Sentimentalists" a week.
Some bookstores across the country have been unable to get the title since the Giller short list came out Oct. 5.
