Couple of years ago, I was talking with writer and guy-about-publishing Roy MacSkimming about The Perilous Trade, his lively history of the publishing trade in Canada. With that done, he was putting aside his long detour into arts administration and such and returning to his novelist's roots -- with a novel about John A. Macdonald.
It's here. Look at Roy's webpage for details, and for Macdonald in the stores.
