The ubiquitous Bill Richardson, whose Bachelor Brothers' Bedside Companion (D&M) was recently launched, has had a beer named after him - Bachelor Brothers Special Bitter, available at Gastown's Steamworks Brewing. Richardson has penned a poem for Canada Book Day, scheduled for Wednesday, April 23. "...Step inside a bookstore and peruse each groaning shelf, / Then take a tome home for a friend, or buy one for yourself.";
