ABOUT THE PROJECT

Hi! I'm Kunal, Owner and Founder of Studio 324

The Studio has been creating Toronto themed illustrations for over 2 years now, and this project aims to continue doing so and collating it all into a coffee table book. The Book of Toronto is a celebration of Toronto.

The coffee table book will be filled to the brim with the Studio’s collections of artwork! At 8” x 8”, the book is a series of illustrations in varying styles showcasing the best of this city. Come take an illustrative journey with us through the streets of Toronto. The book will have:

Hard cover and Digital Book editions
200 pages with over 100 original illustrations and photographs of Toronto’s most popular landmarks, neighbourhoods and homes
A guide to Toronto’s most popular buildings
Fun facts about Toronto’s most famous houses
A history of Toronto’s firsts
A trek through some of Toronto’s neighbourhoods

_________________________________________

Every effort is being made to ensure the book will go to print on time. The structure of the book has already been established. We have sourced a printer, and are in discussions with them to get the best quality product for an affordable price.

The majority of the content will be produced in October and most of which has been already started in August and September. We will wrap up some awesome new illustrations in October and November, which we can drop into the content for the final pages and we’re ready to print by mid November!

Due to the close proximity to Christmas and longer postal delivery times at that time of year, we are making all the efforts to print and ship by the first week of December. There's always a few copies that may get stuck somewhere in the postal system but from our end we'll do our best. If you absolutely must have it by Christmas get in touch and we'll look at the additional cost for express delivery, or you can opt for the a pick-up in Toronto (date, place and time to be determined)

This is our second publication (you can see our first here) so we are well aware of quality control, and with our design backgrounds, you can rest assured that what you will get is a high quality illustrative coffee table book.
