Signed and generically inscribed by author upon verso of front free endpaper. 102 pages. Index. generously illustrated with black and white reproductions of archival photos. "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.
