Getting ready for the big day: For three decades, the McGill Book Fair has been a campus institution. Organized by the Women's Alumnae Association and Women Associates (staff and wives of) the fair has raised about $950,000 to date, each year funding over 30 scholarships and bursaries. Donations for this year's fair totalled about 1,200 boxes' worth. Good cause, good books, great prices -- what more do you need? Go to Redpath Hall on October 17 and October 18, from 9 am to 9 pm.
