Giving the gift of a bookstore

After 27 years of trading and selling books, the owner of l'Ancre des Mots, a second-hand book store in Sillery, decided it was closing time for his small shop. But instead of selling his business, he decided to give it away, to people he judged were deserving of 50,000 books. Gaetan Genest handed over the keys - and the mountains of books - to three young people: Alexandre Prieur, Cassy Giguère and Steeve Veilleux. Alexandre Prieur joined us in studio to tell us more about embarking on this new venture.
