Book Sale
We know that the Imagination book sale is always one of the most anticipated parts of the festival. We are pleased to announce that La Maison Anglaise, a vital partner of Imagination since its beginning, is once again the place to buy your books! This year again, 30% of the sales of the Imagination books will be given to the Morrin Centre and invested back into Imagination. Each event page (accessed by clicking on the event title below) also had an individual link to the appropriate book(s).
The books will be available at the Morrin Centre during the festival. You can also buy them, digitally or in person, at La Maison Anglaise through the button below.
Special Contest!
This year, the Morrin Centre and the Maison Anglaise join hands to organise a special contest. Buy one (or more) Imagination book(s) by April 13 and, in addition to supporting the Imagination Fesitval and the local independent bookstore La Maison Anglaise, you will have a chance to win a prize!
Among the list of prizes figure: bags, mugs, various gift-cards, and more…
**Please note that, until the end of the festival (April 27), Morrin Centre members do not benefit from their discount on book orders when purchasing books at La Maison Anglaise. This restriction only applies when purchasing books by authors presenting at Imagination 2025.
