Quote:
"With merchandise intercepted at the border and deemed 'obsene', the plight of Ten Percent Books brings to mind the lengthy legal battle between Canada Customs and the West End's Little Sister's Book and Art Emporium, a case that reached the Supreme Court in 2000. However, the fictitious bookstore in Anne Wheeler's Better than Chocolate, with its neighbouring Italian caffè, is clearly rooted in the community vibe of East Van."
