The Sault’s Tagona Press is releasing Frank Sarlo’s new book, Hound Town Revisited.
Building on Hound Town, his comprehensive 2016 Soo Greyhounds history, Sarlo draws on his decades’ long Greyhounds club director experiences and Brad Coccimiglio’s Hounds’ reporting for SooToday to bring the club’s story to 2024.
Team photographer Bob Davies (Freeze Frame Photos) has contributed 40 beautiful images capturing Hounds’ game action and their loyal fans. Revisited is a unique book – like the team history and city that it celebrates.
All net book proceeds are being donated to ‘Hound Power’, the Greyhounds’ non-profit branch devoted to supporting educational, sports and other charitable activities in the Sault.
Tagona Press publisher Bryan Davies expressed his delight to be working with Sarlo to advance Hound Power’s good works.
“It is a great project – a testament to Frank, Brad, and Bob’s talents, while helping a fine Hounds organization that makes the Sault better.”
Davies said Sarlo has achieved a rare distinction in the Canadian publishing world.
“We have researched this point as closely as we can – but I believe that very few Canadian authors have ever published three books after they reached 80 years of age,” Davies said.
Sarlo's three books are ‘A Special Place’ (2023); ‘The West End: A Magical Place Created by Giants’ (2024); and Hound Town Revisited (2024).
“Frank is truly one of a kind.”
Hound Town Revisited sells for $30. It can be purchased online, at Stone’s Office Supply, and on Dec. 28 and 29 at GFL Memorial Arena at the Greyhounds’ games.
