[Jenn Huzera, sitting at the Apt. 9 Press table] Another season, and another edition of the ottawa small press book fair is once again behind us; as such, there are more than a couple of reports from the fair, including one from audience regular Pearl Pirie, and others from participants Jessica Bebenek, Cameron Anstee, Amanda Earl and myself (in two parts), as well as a series of Polaroid shots Ottawa designer and photographer Charles Earl took during the course of the day, of rob mclennan and Christine McNair, Brian Mikok and Jeannie Hoag, jwcurry, Jenny Haysom sitting at the Arc Poetry Magazine table, and Jessica Bebenek.

Thanks to all for another amazing fair! Hopefully we see you again in the spring.
