New Document The first Montreal Review of Books hit the streets in October 1997. In the decade since, the mRb has given visibility to many of Quebec's best and most intriguing English-language writers, illustrators, translators, and publishers. Thanks to our faithful advertisers over the years, our reviewers, writers, translators, and illustrators, our English-language publishers, Terry Byrnes for his photographs, and David LeBlanc who gives the mRb its unique style. And a huge thank you to the Canada Council of the Arts, Department of Canadian Heritage, and to SODEC - your support is crucial and appreciated. - Editors
