Book Notes: Greer on Rum in the Seaboard Review


In these days of the dwindling of book reviews and publications that run them, it's worth noting a newish (two years) review dedicated to reviewing Canadian fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and doing so on a frequent basis -- sometimes several times a week, it seems. 

It's called The Seaboard Review and its webpage is here.  It's a Substack production, actually, and the webpage is mostly just a link there.  Its review skew more to fiction, poetry, memoir, and literary nonfiction than historical writing.  But this week it includes a thoughtful review of Allan Greer's recent MQUP history, Canada in the Age of Rum.

If you like a book review with diverse interests written and published in Canada , it's worth a look,  They welcome subscriptions but you can read it free.
