[Canadian Pacific Railway, Company Department of Colonization and Development]; M.E. Thonrton (Superintendant of Colonization) - Western Canada As the Camera Sees It
[Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada], Canadian Pacific Railway Company, Department of Colonization and Development, N.D. [Circa 1927-1928?]. First Edition, First Printing. Card Covers. Unpaginated [pp. 24]. Oblong 12mo. measuring 14 x 22 cm. Illustrated, twice-stapled covers. Published by the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. Department of Colonization, as part of their efforts to recruit farmers and settlers in Western Canada in the early part of the 20th century. Comprises of twenty-one sepia-tone captioned photographs each capturing in remarkable detail various agricultural scenes throughout the Canadian Prairies. One (barely perceptible) short closed tear to the front cover, else, near fine; contents uniformly without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked leaves. Overall, near fine. Corresponds to Peel 2198, which states a possible publication date of 1895 though this is likely too early. See also OCLC #464429637. Rare in commerce. These scenes are actual photographs, and tell more emphatically than any words, the story of successful agricultural production in Western Canada. They argue convincingly that you, too, can find prosperity and happiness on these low-priced fertile lands.

Terms of Sale
Terms of Sale:
In respect to items purchased from us over the internet, our Terms of Sale are as follows:
1) We are professional booksellers and adhere to the standards of our professional associations, both in terms of describing books and offering redress in case of a discrepancy.
2) The prices of all material offered for sale on our web site, or on the databases to which we subscribe, are net in US dollars, and each item is subject to prior sale. Normally payment in full must be received before an item will be shipped. If sending a cheque, money order, or purchase order, it is advisable to contact us first to request that the book be reserved for you pending receipt of payment.
3) Payment to Black’s Fine Books and Manuscripts may be made by cheque drawn on a US or Canadian bank; wire transfer (please contact us directly for our BIC/IBAN/SWIFT particulars); credit card (MasterCard, VISA, AMEX).
Please note that we reserve the right to delay shipment of any book paid for by cheque, until the cheque has cleared the payer’s bank account. If paying by money order, please make sure that you purchase a form of money order which may be cashed in Canada (i.e., an international money order).
4) Payment with order, please. We do not send any item out on approval unless prior arrangements have been made. Legitimate book dealers, with whom we have established a reciprocal arrangement, and any member of the ABAC, ABAA, ABA, or an ILAB-affiliated national organization, may apply for a trade discount on any proposed purchase. Canadian purchasers will be charged GST. Known academic institutions, or libraries, may be billed upon receipt of a purchase order.
5) Any item purchased from Black’s Fine Books and Manuscripts is returnable (postpaid) to us within seven days of receipt, if it is found to be substantially different than as described. However, we guarantee any item we sell to be authentic as to provenance, or state of issue (i.e. if we claim a book is a first edition, we guarantee it to be such). If our description of a book in regard to provenance or state of issue is in error, it may be returned to us (with prior notice, please) for refund within one year of purchase.
We do offer a layaway arrangement on more expensive items: generally where the purchase price exceeds $1,000. Typically, the purchaser should offer to us a down payment and propose acceptable terms of payment. We do not charge interest on payments made according to such an agreement. The item being purchased will be shipped upon receipt of payment in full. If payment is not made in accordance with the terms of the layaway arrangement, then the deposit and any payments will only be refunded after we have re-sold the item in question, and deducted our re-selling costs (if any).
We can provide digital photographs or scans, sent as .jpeg attachments, of any item in stock. In making such a request, please be as specific as possible as to the views you would like to receive. Please bear in mind that it is not practical for us to provide photos to people doing research, or seeking to compile a library of digital images, and that we are less inclined to send photos of an inexpensive book (due to the time and effort it requires), in the absence of a demonstrable need or reason on the part of the would-be purchaser.
Please send any further questions by email to: mail@blacksbooks.ca.
