The 2014 Inspire! Toronto International Book Fair has just wrapped up following a 3-day celebration of books, authors, and publishers. An impressive line-up of more than 300 authors were featured - from the new-comers to the world-class writers such as Margaret Atwood and Anne Rice were in attendance, as well as Commander Chris Hadfield, with his new book "You Are Here", made an appearance. The first book fair, of this dimension, held in Toronto attracted an estimated 30,000 visitors.

At the Fair, Howard Iron Works showed off six presses from its Collection - five iron presses and a Golding platen press - all beautifully restored to their original glory. The presses were on display, front and centre, at the main entrance to the Fair in recognition of the rich history of printed communication.

We hope you will enjoy the photos from Inspire! TIBF.
