Unlike awkward ordinary maps that are sometimes impossible to open, a Crumpled City Map can be easily crammed into your pocket, backpack or the carrying pouch provided. You don’t have to worry about refolding it along the original creases. The maps are printed on a special technological material that makes them the lightest and most resistant maps on the market. And they’re 100% waterproof. The map includes all the most important information about a city as well as a list of unique ‘soulsights’. TORONTO is among the urban jungles mapped, and there are many other cities in the collection. Check the website: http://www.palomarweb.com

Housed in a state-of-the-art library building, the Merril Collection of Science Fiction, Speculation and Fantasy, is a non-circulating research collection of 72,000 items. A gift to our city from Judith Josephine Grossman (1923-1997), pen-name Judith Merril, this archive is one of the planet’s finest popular culture collections. Its focus is science fiction fantasy, speculative fiction, magic realism, experimental writing, parapsychology, UFO’s, etc.
“Judith Merril was not only a vital member of the literary community, but a vital person in the largest sense of the word. She lived her times and places thoroughly and enriched us all.” <MARGARET ATWOOD> A founding resident of TORONTO’s Rochdale College, television broadcaster; magazine, book and short story writer; anthologist, activist – Judith Merril was all of these and much more. American-born, she became a Canadian citizen in 1976, and spent 40 years writing and researching science fiction and the paranormal. A book on the life and times of Judith Merril – “Better To Have Loved . . . ” – is available on Amazon.
