Back on Robson Street

The Robson Street store reopened in 1968 in a new store handsomely designed by Ron Thom. A fourth store opened at 1032 West Hastings Street. “Duthie Books has bifurcated,” read the announcement.



Two distinguished B.C. history titles appeared: Kathleen Dalzell’s The Queen Charlotte Islands, 1774-1966 and Ivan Avakumovic and George Woodcock’s The Doukhobors. Alice Munro’s Dance of the Happy Shades shared a Governor General’s Award with Mordecai Richler’s Cocksure. Leonard Cohen declined the poetry prize.
