About
Bookmark began with a pregnant new wife and a guy’s need to stop roaming the world and find a way to support a new family. Christmas of ’72 was our opening in Olde Charlottetown. It was a great time for the publishing industry; wonderful author tours with the likes of Smallwood, Berton, Lesveque, Chretien, and Howe. Canadiana was at its best.
In 1989 we opened another store on Spring Garden Road in Halifax. New and better looking faces now manage Bookmark as two separate stores but joined at the hip.
Say “Hi” to Lori in Charlottetown and Mike in Halifax. I’ll bet they say “Hi” right back.
