Canadian books are getting a well-deserved boost today. Canadian Bookshelf announced that Amazon.ca is its lead sponsor for 2012, and that the site will now offer expanded features and book listings under the new name The 49th Shelf. Since its launch in June 2011, the site has steadily gained a following of book readers keen to discuss Canadian fiction and non-fiction, post recommended reading lists and discover new books among the 50,000 titles to be found on this uniquely Canadian book community.
The 49th Shelf's extensive listings of Canadian fiction, graphic novels, children's books, and non-fiction is the largest public collection of Canadian books ever assembled.
The site is edited by Kerry Clare, who presents a weekly selection of great reads and, together with host and producer Julie Wilson, publishes guest posts, book recommendations and interviews with notable Canadian authors.
Kerry Clare said of the project's momentum: "It's been exciting to see book fans discovering the site for themselves over the past few months, and we’re looking forward to providing them with still more ways to engage and to find books that they’ll love."
The announcement today also marks the introduction of new features on the newly enhanced 49thShelf.com including:
The 49th Shelf is produced by the Association of Canadian Publishers in association with the Canadian Publishers’ Council with funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Ontario Media Development Corporation.
Thanks for sharing! We’re very excited and looking forward to our next chapter as The 49th Shelf.
