ed/pub/designers Peter Evanchuck & Helene Lacelle begin distribution/sales of new books

yes folks we have created three bookshandmade: THE BABY BAKERY, HOMELESS in TORONTO, and GENTLE BEAU - these three books cover a wide range of interests: 1)THE BABY BAKERY is for kids and tells a gentle story/pics about how babies are 'baked' from love 2)HOMELESS in TORONTO is the poetry of a homeless man who's been stuggling on the streets of Toronto for years 3) GENTLE BEAU is a oddball humour comic book unlike others u've seen.

All these handmade books are unique and since they are hand made no two are really alike - the purchaser may have a book personally noted with their name or the name of the person they would like to 'gift' it to with the date included. This makes for a very personal and private one-of-a-kind GIFT

we are now placing the books into distribution slowly THE BABY BAKERY and GENTLE BEAU will be available NOW yes NOW.

Filmmaker Peter Evanchuck and Robert Payne

In making docs, I do not believe in wandering into a scene/story/subject without having gone through it myself for a reasonably long period of time; otherwise, one can be fooled into making something 'not real'. An example of that is my recent project, now 'in the can' called THE DECLINE, FALL and RISE of PAYNE which traces the life of Robert Payne over a period of a couple of winters. I've known ROB for over a decade and have had a long term friendship with him. He's been an actor in my previous fiction films as well as in my theatre pieces. In other words, I've known him through thick and thin, ups and downs so he can't pretend some things that he's not - for all of us who really have experienced our subject, the truth is not only 'out there' but 'in there' i.e. in the doc. ...........(read more)

publisher Peter Evanchuck/Helene Lacelle are moving forward pronto tonto

OK we've resolved most of the computer problems; so, i'm designing/laying out/etc. the book containing the work of Natania Abebe's BABY BAKERY - now looking for the ideal paper to print these two books on - a more precise task that one might think since we are a very small publishing empire we have to be into 'smart publishing'. H. is working away on her comic book: GENTLE BEAU ..... slowly but surely these will be out soon before end of month is the plan - but plans are plans... ok all the best to our loyal supporters....

Disaster strikes bookshandmade computers .... yikees!

Yes we have serious computer issues to resolve - so please be patient as we figure out the issues involved and resolve them asap... ahhhhh Computer World can be a pain.

publishers Peter Evanchuck & Helene Lacelle hibernating

Well, it seems hibernation is part of the Canadian way during these severe winter nights - Like those bears, squirrels and other sleepy warm blooded creatures, we've been taking a break from publishing; instead, we've been working away on completing a documentary on homelessness that's taking our talents and energy. It's now winding down so we're back to publishing and have several new books coming out soon THE BABY BAKERY a sweet tale for children, THE DECLINE, FALL & RISE of PAYNE poetry and thoughts from a homeless Toronto poet, HOW INJUN JOE KILLED MARY MOTHER OF GOD a novella of real events on the mean streets of Canada
