Description
A massive tome (weighs over 5 pounds) which presents a delightful, comprehensive and informative cross-section of British Columbia in Canada's Centennial year, 1967. Included are hundreds of nostalgic contemporary advertisements. These ads are grouped geographically, small town by small town, along with information about many dozens of local communities. Reading the descriptions of these towns, viewing their pictures, and perusing the ads is like stepping back in time! Sections are devoted to all aspects of the provincial economy and infrastructure. As the binding is fragile and some pages are loose, there is a chance that a small number of pages are missing - it is impractical for us to check as the book has multi-paginations and is over two inches thick. Hours of enjoyable reminiscing here! Book
