About This Item
New York, NY: St. Martin's Press, 1992 St. Martin's Press, New York. 1992. Softcover/Trade Wraps. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light rubbing to panels; trace wear to tips. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 385 pp 8vo. In this book the author does an exceptional job of covering the second-largest nation in the world, partly because the author grew up in Canada but mostly because he’s a veteran journalist who knows where to get the political lowdown in Ottawa, when to gather statistics in the library and when to take a sleigh ride in the north. Andrew Malcolm looks at everything from the economy to the country’s intimidating geography: lakes and bays larger than U.S. states, a forest six times the size of France, herds of caribou so numerous that they take a day just to pass one rock. Malcolm finds a heritage that is distinctly Canadian; the nation’s southern cities, in contrast, are still struggling to find their own identity. This should be required reading for every American. A clean very presentable copy
