Long Description:This book exchange is the result of a
Kickstarter campaign. The campaign was launched by Canadian nonprofit executive
Paul McNair on January 13, 2015 and reached its goal of $700 in 10 days. The book exchange was designed and built by Canadian contemporary artist Timothy Wilson Hoey and was unveiled on March 5, 2015.
Dragon Alley (officially 532 1/2 Fisgard Street) is a redevelopment of an alley in Victoria's historic Chinatown that was completed in 2001. What used to lead to a maze of small courtyards, brothels, opium factories, and gambling dens now leads to a dozen small residential units and businesses.
