Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press, 2011. Paper bound, illustrated with black and white photos, and one map of the town of Winnipeg Beach; xiii + Pp211. A near fine copy. 310 grams.

Winnipeg, MB: University of Manitoba Press, 2011. Soft cover. As New. As New condition; Barbour takes us into the heart of this turn-of-the-century resort area and introduces us to some of the people who worked, played, and lived in the resort.
