Title: Glimpses World War II West Vancouver Through the Eyes of the Papers and the Paperboy
Description: British Columbia: Self Published, 2004. First Edition. Paperback. ISBN: 0973443103. Signed, without inscription, by author upon title page. "War-time West Van was a virtual small-town: one high school, one bank, one chapter of the WCTU (and fifty bears). Events brought people together in common celebratory cause, particularly May Day, which was run entirely by local volunteers. At the same time, war called our young men and women away. [This book] threads headlines proclaiming the major events of the war into the peaceful flow of community events of the day - one moment, something horrifying; another, something mundane or entertaining. Such was the temper of the times and such is the mood of this book." - back cover. p. 288. Footnotes. Index. Profusely illustrated with black and white reproductions of archival photos. Clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. A lovely copy.; 4to. Very Good .
