The Word: 48 years and counting
The McGill Tribune has a nice piece about Adrian at The Word, which will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025.

Nice piece indeed!
I find the offhand mention of McGill business students pretty adorable. Deciding it would be a good idea to do a case study of a quirky second-hand bookstore for your business school class seems like a very Montreal thing to do.

Adrian is a great guy. He’s not one to draw attention to his good works beyond the store, so some readers may not know that he and Donna coordinate a free hot lunch every month at Christ Church Cathedral that feeds more than a hundred people, many living on the street. You just walk in. More information here (though the page has not been updated to reflect the return to inside, sit-down service):

Thanks, Patrick. I hadn’t known about that.
