Signed upon title page by author. 180 pages. Index. References. Biographical overview. List of works. Colour illustrated endpapers. "E.J. Hughes is famous for his unforgettably rich and accomplished landscapes, primarily depicting the British Columbia coast. His works now command the highest auction prices ever paid for a living Canadian artist, confirmation of his emergence as a major figure on the international art scene... The passionate collector has always been central to the emergence of important artists. In this extraordinarily personal account, the world of a collector comes alive. Here are 76 Hughes sketches, paintings and prints, in colour and black and white - only a handful previously published in book form - accompanied by a text rich with anecdotes about the joys, frustrations and satisfactions of the chase. This is a very human story of art as master - one which sheds important new light on Hughes and his work." - from dust jacket. "Hughes is the chronicler of a landscape almost too beautiful and too alive with spirit to be believed." - Globe and Mail. Clean, bright and unmarked with negliglble wear.

987 + 570 pages. Text in English and French. "Here, for the first time, writing about Canadian art and architecture is systematically listed, cross-referenced, and indexed. But more than that, the work includes a guide to the literature in the form of an accurate summary of the contents of the entries. Scholars will thus be able to make a preliminary evaluation of the sources without first losing themselves in mountains of irrelevant material. That is what establishes this comprehensive listing as a work of scholarship that is far more than a bibliography. The work of the cultural historians can now begin." - from Foreword. Prior owner's stamp upon each front free endpaper otherwise clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. A high-quality copy of this excellent reference. Book
201 pages of profoundly fascinating and delightful illustrated history. Author's father (b. 1870) left Yorkshire, England with his young family for Canada in 1909 and arrived in Fife Lake, Saskatchewan where they spent their first winter in a straw house. Author was born in a sod house in 1910 and moved with his family to Montana when he was 6 years old. At age 14 the family moved to Victoria, B.C. and from there to Nanoose Bay, further up Vancouver Island. Most pages contain brief text, accompanied by the author's simple sketches of the way things were. He has stressed the most practical elements of daily life and survival. A priceless compilation of the challenges and genius of the pioneer. Examples include: how to hunt prairie antelope by wearing a white sheet; avoiding flying ants by erecting a pole to your wagon and hanging a coat at its top; uprooting stumps by tying them to nearby trees to be felled; cutting wood by rigging a buzzsaw to the back wheel of a Model "T" Ford truck; and many, many more. Mentions Vancouver Island landmarks such as the Arlington Hotel, Lantzville Hotel, Quarterway Hotel, and more. This book lends itself wonderfully to teaching youngsters the ways of the not-so-distant past. You will have great difficulty in putting it down. Book

Approximately 500 pages. The People's of the White Western World have been and are being prosecuted and found guilty for their way; for their beliefs and even for history. All this without there ever having been a fair trial! The Governments of these people have led this prosecution, paying for it with the People's own (taxes) money, not one penny being offered to any to make a statement of defense. "In my lifetime, I have seen a rapid increase in opinion being portrayed as fact, even opinion being legislated as fact... Herewith the end result of collecting my personal opinions...." Much stimulating reading for anyone concerned by the ongoing destruction of Canada. Creasing to covers. Average wear to contents. Unmarked. Binding solid. Remains a solid working copy. Book
