Quattro Books: Feasibility Study

feasibility study: Typically it takes a long time for an ambitious new venture like this to move from feasibility study to real-world reality existence. But this time, plans have taken shape with the breathtaking speed of an amusement-park ride, according to The Star. The two people behind that study were Rita Davies, formerly the visionary executive director of culture for the city of Toronto, and John Calabro, an editor, writer and teacher who runs the small publishing company Quattro Books and Toronto will get a major new book fair a year from now, has learned. Organizers will announce Wednesday that the first edition of Inspire!, a.k.a. the Toronto International Book Fair, will open next November at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. News of the fairs launch comes just three months after the release of a feasibility study, funded by the Ontario Media Development Corp., which raised the tantalizing prospect of a reimagined Toronto book fair after six years without one.
