Looking for a special holiday gift for that reader or writer on your list? Or maybe that person that loves beautiful photography? Look no further than the Sudbury Writer’s Guild’s most recent anthology, Sudbury Superstack: A Changing Skyline.

Copies are available for $25 at the Art Gallery of Sudbury, Books & Beans, Bay Used Books, Seasons Pharmacia and Science North.

We’re undergoing the process of digitally archiving old Guild files. There’s stuff here all the way back to the 90’s when the SWG started. We’ll post some of the interesting finds in a post.
