Maclean’s magazine’s Stephen Maher and Ensight’s John Delacourt held their joint book launch at the Métropolitain Brasserie, one of the Hill’s favourite watering holes, on Wednesday night, attended by some 100 Hillites. Though the books may not have been leather-bound, the venue did smell of rich mahogany.
