Chapters Inc. was formed following the merger of Coles and SmithBooks, then Canada’s two largest bookstore chains. In 1994, Canadian General Capital and Pathfinder Capital purchased SmithBooks from Federal Industries, and later that year acquired Coles from Southam Inc. The strategy was to build a strong base company and use its financial strength to invest in the development of large format book superstores.
In April 1995, the merger of SmithBooks and Coles was finalized, and in November 1995, the new company, Chapters Inc. opened its first two book superstores and from there grew to become the largest book retailer in Canada, operating bookstores in all provinces, under the names Chapters, Coles, SmithBooks, and World's Biggest Bookstore.

Denzel Washington gives a stirring performance as the African-American boxer unjustly sent to prison, a man who loses two decades of his life, but never loses his pride or his hunger for freedom. When young Lesra (Vicellous Reon Shannon) buys a copy of the fighter’s autobiography, he decides to fight for his hero’s emancipation. Aided by a trio of Canadian activists, the young boy brings the Hurricane to national attention. The resultant emotional reconciliations will leave you stunned. This powerfully acted movie is a must for anyone who loves great storytelling. Description The inspirational true story of boxer Rubin "The Hurricane" Carter, who was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1966. Told in a series of flashbacks, Washington immerses himself in the role of Carter with a charged passion that should make him a serious Oscar contender. The story jumps around in time, from Carter's troubled childhood, to his arrest in 1966, to his fruitless appeals, to 1983, when a group of three white adults and a black teenager dedicate their lives to freeing him. Jewison's assured direction keeps these stories from getting jumbled and blurring together. Even in flashbacks, the plot moves forward dramatically, to its eventual rousing conclusion. Some of the supporting roles (mainly the liberal whites, Schrieber, Unger, and Hannah) don't give the actors much to work with, but the story remains such a powerful affirmation of faith and justice that, by the time the credits roll, these flaws are easily dismissed. Based on the novels THE 16TH ROUND by Carter and LAZARUS AND THE HURRICANE by Chaiton and Swinton.
