Several of our all-time best selling books are from The Petit Livres series published by Drawn and Quarterly. Foremost among these have been Marc Bell's Stacks, Milk Teeth by Julie Morstad, All We Ever Do Is Talk About Wood by Tom Horacek, Ojingogo by Matthew Forsythe, Pohadky by Marek Čolek and Pat Sewchuck, and Fire Away by Chris von Szombathy (all books that Lucky's hosted launches for...and incidentally, all book by Canadian artists).
