ISSUE 65: THE 20th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE<\/h3>\n

We usually tell other people\u2019s stories, but this anniversary issue is a chance to tell our own story, to look back and celebrate our two decades of existence. It\u2019s also a chance to have some fun, as we have in past anniversary issues, with features like imagined covers from a century of Spacing<\/em>. This issue starts introspectively, with the magazine itself \u2014 our origins and evolution, and some of the impact we\u2019ve had. Then we pull out to get some outside perspectives on Spacing<\/em>. Finally, we look at the broader landscape, taking the opportunity to be positive, such as what has changed in the city for the better, and profiling some of the people we\u2019ve worked with and admired.<\/p>\n

THE BIG BOOK OF SPACING<\/h3>\n

Pre-order the book now<\/a> on the Spacing Store website<\/em><\/p>\n

And while Spacing<\/em> persists, so does Toronto. The Big Book of Spacing<\/em> \u2014 248 full-colour pages! \u2014 takes the best content from our magazine, website, and books from the last 20 years and gives them a second life. The articles in this book trace both our magazine\u2019s and city’s evolution. To give the features more depth, we approached each writer and provided them with the opportunity to reflect on the piece, the time of writing, or how things have changed since then in side notes and afterthoughts. We\u2019ve also added the occasional factual updates or the significance and impact of the article. Each feature is of its moment, but each one also speaks to Toronto\u2019s present and the potential for the future in some way. We think The Big Book of Spacing<\/em> is a good starting point to not only look back on Toronto\u2019s history but also see where the city is headed.<\/p>\n
