The Casual Optimist interviews Jason Godfrey, author of Bibliographic: 100 Classic Graphic Design Books.

Books@Torontoist posted our own tribute to Paul Quarrington yesterday, but the National Post’s round-up of memories from the Canadian literary community for the beloved writer is worth a read. There are also obits and memories at the CBC, the Globe, the Star and Maclean’s and loving video tributes from Michael Ondaatje, Peter Lynch, Jim Cuddy and others from the books, film and music communities on Quarrington’s website.
