. Spring Summer 2011 Media Kit . Spring Summer 2011 What makes a perfect summer? Do you count down the days until barbecue season? Daydream about your hammock by the lake? Delight in the first steamy, sprinkler-worthy afternoon? When planning the Spring/Summer 2011 collections, our INDIGO team took inspiration from a host of exceptional books, toys and gifts that celebrate fair-weather pleasures. Of course, we’ll all read, relax, rejoice and rejuvenate in our own unique, personal way. Maybe it’ll be digging into a juicy new book, trying a cottage-life inspired recipe from Trish Magwood’s new In My Mother’s Kitchen cookbook or outfitting your picnic basket with fresh new gear. However you choose to enjoy the season, let the sun shine in! The spring/summer assortment will be available at INDIGO and CHAPTERS stores nationally from April to July 2011. For images, samples and current pricing, please contact Indigo Public Relations: Janet Eger, Director (jeger@indigo.ca) Lisa Huie, Manager (lhuie@indigo.ca), Will Moskal, Coordinator (wmoskal@indigo.ca) Summer Reading “We’ll always have Paris.” Humphrey Bogart’s famous line lingers still. And so inspired were we by a roster of new Paris-themed titles, we’ve put the locale at the top of our reading list this season. The City of Light, as sketched by Paula McLain in The Paris Wife, captivates. We’re told the story of Ernest Hemingway, but from the perspective of his first wife, Hadley. We linger in coffee houses, meet icons the likes of Gertrude Stein. Other titles likewise have us pining for lazy summer afternoons, from The Lake of Dreams, a beautifully detailed follow-up to Kim Edwards’ The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, to the irresistible Tina Fey’s tell-all Bossypants. Happy reading.

Magwood: My first book was Dish Entertains. It was about my life at work at Dish Cooking Studio. This one is about life at home; it’s more casual with content inspired by my mom and grandmothers. It’s about trying to keep traditions alive and relevant for family and for today’s busy cooks. Indigo: What were your favourite desserts as a kid? Magwood: We did brownies a lot and there’s a recipe here that was from my mom’s best friend’s mother, Auntie Mary. (They’re cocoa-powder based.) In the summer, my Mom made Blueberry Boy Bait. With a lot of these recipes, I’ve maintained the names because they’re just so unbelievable. My Mom and Dad have a cottage at Pointe au Baril on Georgian Bay and a group of women in the ‘60s put together The Cottage Cookbook. It’s still my most beloved cookbook. Indigo: What was your favourite dinner growing up? Magwood: To this day, it’s turkey. And I think it’s because my mom always does it. What I like most is the stuffing, the mashed potatoes and the gravy, so I have all of that in the cookbook. The turkey recipe was really written by my mom. She took it on as her task to make sure that I had the exact roasting times right, and we tried every bird—freerange to frozen Butterball. Indigo: In My Mother’s Kitchen, you say that you grew up with dessert daily. Do you continue the tradition? Magwood: Totally. And I can hear my mother’s voice when I say to my kids: “If you eat your dinner, you’ll get dessert”—it’s old-fashioned bribery and it’s haunting because I think I even use the same tone that my mother used. 6 Inspiring Entertaining Books: Taking Time For Tea, Diana Rosen Tea Party, Tracy Stern Tea for You, Tracy Stern Newlywed Kitchen, Lorna Yee The Newlywed’s Vegetarian Cookbook, Ryland Peters & Small South Shore Tastes, Liz Feltham Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens, Marie Nightingale Favourite Recipes From Old New Brunswick Kitchens, Mildred Trueman Prince Edward Island Tastes, Andrew Sprague Prince Edward Island Seafood, Paul Lucas Cheers!

At INDIGO, we have many indulgences in mind—from exquisite stationery and delicious bubble baths to entertaining cookbooks and sprawling epic reads—to address a mother’s passions and pastimes.

Indigo: Blurb shipped over 1.2 million books to more than 60 countries and generated over $45 million in revenue in 2009, and in 2010, was ranked the fastest growing media company on the Inc. 500 List. Why do you think you’ve been so successful? Gittins: Very early on, we realized that we are fundamentally in the business of enabling people to tell stories, whether that story is the story of our family’s favourite meals or whether the story is my blog postings for the year 2010, the story of our vacation or my poetry or whatever. By enabling people’s passions to come out via stories so beautifully rendered is why we’ve been successful. Indigo: Cookbooks, portfolios, photo albums: What other innovative Blurb books have you seen? Gittins: Memoriam books are becoming popular, books of a person’s life—or a pet; and blog books. We’ve also seen books to propose marriage, where the last page actually said “will you marry me?” We got an email from that customer about four days later to tell us ‘she said “yes” ’. Indigo: Can you share what’s coming for 2011? Gittins: We’re forecasting double-digit growth. We’re investing in a ton of new products, so the customer will have more choice in the physical materials of the book. We’re also investing in branding and have hired an ad agency, and we’re looking across all kinds of media, even broadcast, cable, network, video – all of it. We’re investing in international growth. In 2010 we invested in another print location in Edmonton and we’re looking to drive visibility in Canada. Canada represents about 6-7% of our business, which is a lot. And in 2011, you’ll see us go into additional localized versions of our product with other languages for other countries. 13 Gardening Canadians love to garden and high-style outdoor entertaining and garden rooms continue to top trend hit lists.

After immigrating to Canada in the 1950s, Ferragine’s grandfather found work in the agricultural region of Southern Ontario’s Holland Marsh, then with Ferragine’s father opened Branford Greenhouses in 1975. (The company is now one of the area’s largest grower-retailer operations.) “I often joke that my family believed in child labour,” says Ferragine, “the greenhouse was my afterschool program, my Sunday school, and my summer vacation, and I loved every minute of it.” Ferragine’s passion for his subject resonates on every page of his new book and is jam-packed with information, tips and gorgeous instructional and garden-glamour photos from Toronto-based shooter Shannon Ross. Whether one is lawn-obsessed, wanting to tackle an overrun perennial bed or trying their hand at a vegetable garden, Get Growing is a must read. 16 Green Thumb Guides for the Gardener: Home Herbal, Dorling DK Kitchen Garden Cookbook, Dorling DK Sugar Snaps And Strawberries, Andrea Bellamy Soilmates, Sara Always Heirloom Vegetables, Herb & Fruits, Doreen Howard Week-by-Week Vegetable Gardeners Handbook, Jennifer Kujawski Get Growing, Frank Ferragine Superfoods from the Garden, Michael van Straten My Garden: 5 year Journal, Mimi Luebbermann The Zero Mile Diet, Carolyn Herriot Worms & Wormeries, Mike Woolnough The Complete Compost Gardening Guide, Barbara Pleasant Harvest, Meredith Kirton Grow Organic, Elizabeth Peirce Atlantic Gardening, Peter J.
