January 2008 - Sim Publishing donates AMPHORA to Alcuin Society
To aid on the ongoing good work of the Alcuin Society, Sim Publishing
donated an almost complete set of the Society's journal AMPHORA to
the society. A large number of the issues were acquired by Sim Publishing as
research material for the commissioned article on the journal's history,
published in the 40th Anniversary issue.
The value of the collection was appraised at $1,100.00. The Alcuin Society sells
back issues of the journal individually, or as a complete set if possible. This
donation will allow them to easily put together another complete set for sale.

the original cover art for The Canadian Industrial Reader from 1928.

December 15 2007 - Angleman Christmas card published
Following the completion of the Burnaby Art Gallery Christmas card, we didn't
have much time for the annual Sim Publishing card design. The idea for this card
was sketched in 2001, but was not used then. Production of the card went quite
quickly, with colouring the lights by hand on each card being the most time
consuming part of the project.
December 10 2007 - Burnaby Art Gallery Limited Edition Christmas card completed
The limited edition block print Christmas card commissioned by the Burnaby Art
Gallery has been successfully cut, printed, and delivered to the Gallery. The
edition of 50 prints will be sent by the Gallery to their Patrons and the
Artists who exhibited at the Gallery in 2007.
