Times are hard for independent bookstores. Facing a mountain of debt and an uncertain future with her own small business in Saskatchewan, Annabel Townsend sets out on a mission in the big city: to visit as many bookstores as she can, to find camaraderie amongst fellow booksellers, and hope for the future of the industry.

Inspired by the accidental discovery of a book about wandering, Annabel gets lost in Toronto enthusiastically. She seeks out this one single book, uncovering the city's weird and wonderful literary community along the way.

Townsend, Annabel: - Annabel Townsend is a life-long book lover, coffee aficionado and stubborn cyclist. She has a PhD in geography and wrote her thesis about the coffee industry before opening her own coffee shop in the UK. She has now run small businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, most recently, The Penny University Bookstore in Regina, SK. A lot of these entrepreneurial adventures end up in her writing. She writes mainly nonfiction but occasionally dabbles with spoken word and sci-fi writing. She lives in Regina with her husband, kids and a great many small animals.
