"Here for the first time comes a collection of true stories from the characters who built and lived on Nanaimo's Shack Island. It is an artist's Mecca, a beachcomber's delight, a boater's refuge, a dreamer's escape, a writer's inspiration - and yet the shacks remain an enigma. These are humorous and factual events (1900-1960) of the islanders by the islanders from the other side of the shutters." - back board. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear.
