Edward's Choice series

Admin History/Bio: 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.
