Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw: Excursions in the Great Weird North
by Canongate Books Ltd (Paperback)
Will Ferguson has spent the past three years criss-crossing Canada: in a helicopter above the barren-lands of the sub-arctic; in a canoe with his four-year old son; on seaplanes; and on the Underground Railroad. Ferguson's travels have taken him from Cape Spear on the coast of Newfoundland to the sun-dappled streets of Olde Victoria. Delving into Canada's history and landscape along the way, Ferguson's discoveries are fascinating and provocative. Funny, poignant and insightful, "Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw" is a personal tribute to a quirky and enthralling country.

Souvenir of Canada 2
by Douglas & McIntyre (Paperback)

In addition to his trademark visual revelations, Coupland here creates new works of art and design that further evoke the Canadian identity. Each of these objects mirrors his personal relationship to the Great White North in a way that’s both local and universal.

Everett Baker's Saskatchewan: Portraits of an Era
by Fifth House Books (Hardcover) (Release Date: 2007-04-30)
Saskatchewan Book Awards Shortlist - Non-Fiction, 2007 If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Everett Baker's photographs of Saskatchewan and its people taken during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s are worth a million! Unlike the black and white photos that typically document the era, they are as colourful as a flax field in bloom. Everett Baker's Saskatchewan is a book filled with photos of the province as Baker saw it starting in 1937, when he traveled from town to town as a field man for the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool.

The old world was slipping into the shadow of the new, and Baker was there to capture it before it ...
