Timeless Books

Timeless books had another successful year at Word on the Street in both Vancouver and Toronto on Sunday, September 25th, breaking last year’s sales records in both cities.

The day started off gloomy in the east, with rain clouds and showers as timeless staff, Andrew Wedman and Kendra Ward, set up the booth next to ascent magazine at the Queen’s Park festival. But, serendipitously, as the clock struck 11am (the time that the festival began), the sky lightened and the vapor rose off the wet streets. Crowds arrived from all directions, and by the afternoon, the festival was in full gear.

The Word on the Street is always a fun event. There are amazing deals on books and the festival-goers – on the lookout for the best deals of the year—are there to take full advantage of the sales. The near-full compliment of timeless staff was on-hand in shifts throughout the day. Julia Hambleton, timeless’ newest staff who is taking on sales part-time, and Clea McDougall, timeless’ senior editor, also worked the event. Old friends of Radha Yoga and new also stopped by to say hello to timeless.

“It’s always a bit of a thrill,” said Kendra, “to introduce new people to Swami Radha’s books and just think about what might happen.”

The yogis from Vancouver’s radha—yoga & eatery made it possible for timeless and ascent to participate in Vancouver’s The Word on the Street festival as well. Swami Lalitananda, Kxx Citton, Oliver Giving and Sikeena Karmali all helped out at the timeless and ascent table. The sun shone over the festival, which always makes it better, and people had a great time while they helped promote timeless, ascent and radha.
