McNally Robinson is back on its feet and we have been helped up by you, our
readers.
Thank you for your flowers, cards, letters, emails of encouragement and
goodwill.
Thank you for coming into our stores this past week in record
numbers.
It was an overwhelming groundswell of support which made a
difficult time endurable.
So thank you Winnipeg. Thank you Saskatoon. You have always been the most
generous and supportive of communities. Thank goodness we are part of you
and you are part of us.

We were thrilled and honoured to host the Master Storyteller on December 15th. We shepherded over 900 people through our doors for the event and fans were rapt with attention during Neil's reading from his newest book, Odd and the Frost Giants.
After the reading, Neil answered questions from the audience and took time with each of his fans -- signing and illustrated until 1:00 am.
We also presented Neil Gaiman with a scrapbook of our Graveyard Book Party memorabilia and photos. It was photographed before the fans added their love and passed around at the event for fans to sign.
