In 1991, Coach House Press published The Brick Reader, a three hundred page volume edited by Ondaatje and Spalding.
It features the best of Brick writing, from 1977-1991, including works by Don DeLillo, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Alice Munro.
The redesigned magazine (beginning with Brick 65/66) was square and altogether newly formatted, featuring a new title logo designed by Toronto artist David Bolduc[5] (who actually designed five new title logos for the magazine; Brick cycles through them in an irregular fashion) and expanded to one hundred and seventy pages.
Of the redesign, Cecily Möos, wrote: I have been invited by the publisher of this now-stout organ to speak on behalf of the entire staff in welcoming you to this, the beginning of a new era for the magazine.
(These deliberations were of a nature too technical to be intelligible to our readership, but those who wish to know more may send away for the minutes, collected in a sister publication entitled More Readers, More Money: How?)
