y love hate relationship with you is about to intensify in the 'hate' direction.30 Years after its inception, in the ones strange and obscure Queen St. W, Pages bookstore is closing its doors. Pushed out by rising rent prices in the now uber-hip Queen St W. with its overpriced boutiques, and shoe stores - a mall without a roof. Pages was a great little store, with a great selection of independent press, books on politics, art, and friendl staff who always ask you first if you are a student so they can give you a discount. Pages was wonderful and I'm devastated that it will be gone at the end of August. We payed our tribute last weekend by giving them some money for some books. Once again, even in its last days, Pages does good by me by pulling me out of my reading slump and delivering to my greedy eyes these new books.
