- Edward Borins and his wife, Eva, established Edwards Books & Art at 356 Queen Street West in 1979, which eventually grew into a small chain. The chain fought a lengthy battle with the provincial government over Sunday shopping laws that led to around 300 charges. Edwards ran into troubles with its suppliers that played a role into the chain’s demise in 1997 and, thanks to tighter credit limits publishers imposed in the aftermath, negatively affected other local booksellers. The Borins moved to Santa Fe and ran Garcia Street Books for a decade before selling it in 2011.
- Scope and Content
- Series consists of 3 audio reels containing Edward's Choice segment, broadcast by CHIN Radio on Mondays. The segment is presented by Edward Borins, owner of Edwards Books & Art, and deals primarily with book reviews and promotion of events held at the bookstore.

- Rabbi Erwin Schild was born in Cologne, Germany, in 1920. Six weeks before his bar mitzvah, the Nazi Party took over the German government. Nevertheless he was able to finish High School and to continue his Jewish studies at the Jewish Seminary in Würzburg, in southern Germany, interrupted by the events of the Night of Broken Glass, in November 1938. At eighteen years of age, he was imprisoned and incarcerated in the Dachau Concentration Camp. After a period of detention, he was released and immigrated to Britain as a student at a Yeshiva in London. When Britain declared war with Germany, thousands of Jewish refugees from Germany were deemed security risks and interned in prison camps. Schild was among those internees – mostly male, young and not married – who were shipped to Canada to be interned as enemy aliens for the duration of the war. In February 1942, through the efforts of Rabbi Price, supported by the Canadian Jewish Congress, he was liberated to continue his studies in Toronto at the Yeshiva Torath Chaim and at the University of Toronto. After five years of study, he was ordained by the eminent scholar Rabbi Abraham Price at the Toronto Yeshiva Torath Chaim. He studied Semitic Languages and Literature at the University of Toronto and earned a B.A. degree, soon to be followed by an M.A. He married Montreal-born Laura Saxe and became the father of a son, followed by two daughters. In 1947, at 27 years of age, he was selected as the Rabbi of the First Hebrew Roumanian Congregation Adath Israel, also known as the Rumanishe Shul, which was to be his first and only position. He retired in 1989, after 42 years of service, and was offered the honourific title of Rabbi Emeritus. Throughout his life, he has been granted several awards, such as the Order of Canada, the Order of Merit Officers’ Class of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Gold Medal for Peace through Dialogue of the International Council of Christians and Jews, and the Honourary Doctorate of Philosophy of the University of Osnabrück in Germany.
