1992 Souvenir Collection of the Postage Stamps of Canada (Bilingual English-French)

56 pages. "...the stamps of Canada are a unique form of communication. They are themselves national icons, which embody in their design, and their ubiquitousness, a representation of the country's experience that enhances everyone's understanding and pride. The philatelists know it, and I think, whenever those of us who are not stamp collectors stop to think about it, we know it too." - Patrick Watson, from front flap of dust jacket. Small faint erasure to decorated front endpaper, else unmarked. Light wear to book and dust jacket. Sorry but no actual stamps included. A very attractive volume none-the-less. Book

To All Our Children - the Story of the Postwar Dutch Immigration to Canada

512 pages. "Between 1946 and 1982 more than 180,000 people emigrated from The Netherlands to Canada. That enormous tide peaked in 1952, when almost 21,000 Netherlanders made Canada their home. The movement arose out of a long-occupied country whose citizens considered Canadians their liberators, out of tiny Holland's limited capacity for growth, and out of the uneasy political situation in Europe. The real result of the movement, the lives of the ordinary people who uprooted themselves to immigrate, is the subject of this overwhelming documentation. Told simply and movingly, this is the story of eveyr immigrant's experience, from the decision to leave and the journey itself to the arrival in Canada and the difficulties to be faced." - from dust jacket. Copiously illustrated in black and white. Book clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Light wear and rubbing to dust jacket. Quality copy. Book
