Couple of years ago, I had a call from Mark Stanton, Vancouver guy about publishing, who had an idea for a book about the Trans-Canada Highway. I liked the idea, but I was completing one book and had another in mind and under contract. I suggested Stanton might talk to a Vancouver writer I knew and admired: Daniel Francis, who among other things had recently edited (and written much of) The Encyclopedia of British Columbia.
Then I forgot about the whole thing. Mostly that sort of suggestion doesn’t work out.
Hey, it worked out. Take a look at the webpage for A Road for Canada by Daniel Francis, published by Stanton, Atkins & Dosil of Vancouver, fall 2006. Nice looking book!
