"Ottawa Rewind: A Book of Curios And Mysteries" is as much a mystery as a history book. Whimsical and researched, it is the creative work of a restless and curios mind.
Andrew King is an artist, cartoonist and detective. The detective part doesn’t get mentioned often, but Andrew is a history sleuth, someone who loves to solve historical mysteries. Where exactly is the first house built in Ottawa? Was there really a nuclear reactor once at Tunney’s Pasture? And what in the world happened to Ottawa’s once famous tiki bar at the Talisman Inn?
Andrew has been seeking answers to questions like these since launching the popular website Ottawa Rewind in 2013. In Ottawa Rewind Andrew has set out to find the location of shipwrecks in the Ottawa River, the playboy bunnies that once worked the Riverside Hotel in Vanier and every last Free Mason or Knight Templar symbol built into Canada’s Parliament Buildings.

You. Need. These.
The Alex Trebek coasters feature a different generation of Trebek that have been directly printed on each of the four ceramic coasters (two of which are shockingly missing the mustache). People will actually want to use coasters when they see Canada's own Alex Trebek's face displayed on them.
These coasters are made using a custom developed ceramic blend so they will absorb the condensation off your glassware and save your tables from those nasty water rings, There is a large cork pad on the bottom of each coaster to prevent scratches, save your furniture, and look absolutely amazing doing so.
Not dishwasher safe, but you can wipe them with a cloth soaked in mild soap and warm water. Since the ceramic is absorbent, the quicker you wipe up any spills the better stain prevention for coloured beverages.
