While the site refers to her as a “brazen force”, we found Anastasia Koutalianos quite nice when she visited us at Biz Books to tell us about her online events listing site.


So impressed were we with her presentation that we pledged to spread the word to you so that you are able to avail yourselves of her great service and thereby increase the eager audiences for your screenings, readings, performances, recitals and other happening happenings. There is also tons of stuff listed there that you might want to check out as well. Be sure to check out NADATODO.COM and start filling the pages of that shiny new 2010 calendar!

Holiday Flower Fundraiser

Filed under: , , ,

Biz Books is pleased to support The Good Company Collective in their fundraising efforts for their 2010 production of Marsha Norman’s award winning play ‘Night Mother. Featuring Biz Books’ own Bronwen Smith in the role of Jessie along with the venerable Wendy Morrow Donaldson in the role of Thelma this anticipated production will take the stage in October 2010 at Studio 16 (1545 West 7th Ave., Vancouver) under the direction of another member of the Biz family, Carol Hodge.

This Pulitzer Prize winning play is an eloquent, enthralling and ultimately shattering story that explores the final hour in the life of a young woman who has decided that life is no longer worth living.

“…honest, uncompromising, lucid, penetrating, well-written, dramatic, and…un-manipulatively moving…” — NY Magazine


The Good Company Collective with the support of Heathers The Flowershop, have two beautiful holiday flower arrangements for order through Biz Books. These beautiful and affordable flower arrangements are a thing of beauty to share with family and friends this holiday season.

Call, e-mail or visit Biz Books in store or online to place your orders.

Biz Books is Serious, Man, about A Serious Man

Filed under: , ,

Last time out, the Coen Brothers (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen) put a number of big name Hollywood types (George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and John Malkovich) into some big trouble for last year’s scathing satire, Burn After Reading.

At Biz Books, we’re looking forward to their latest film, A Serious Man, a close inspection of domestic squabbling involving a married couple and the prolonged stay of an troublesome in-law. Told in a darkly comic way as only the Coen Brothers can, the story is set in the 1950s and stars Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind, and Sari Lennick.

Look for A Serious Man in theatres on October 16th, 2009.

Can’t get enough of the Coen Brothers? Biz Books invites you to read Almost an Evening, a collection of three plays written by Ethan Coen.

Stay in the loop for Biz Books movie contests in Vancouver by signing up for the regular Biz Bulletins .
