About This Item
Surrey, BC: Heritage House Publishing. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. 1894384253 . Only slight wear to DJ and book ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. Gowen's evocative photography throughout. ; B&W Photographs; Oblong 8vo 8" to 9" tall; 176 pages; "Frank Gowen's Vancouver extended from White Rock to the Sunshine Coast, as the photographer and his camera explored the playgrounds and edifices of a vibrant West Coast community. In the city itself, Stanley Park, and particularly the park's famed Hollow Tree, became Gowen's personal domain. In this era when the picture postcard was firmly entrenched as a popular means of communication, Gowen's images travelled around the world, establishing an ever-growing awareness of one of the world's finest harbours and the lands that surrounded it. The pictures selected for this book provide a testimonial to the heritage and natural beauty of British Columbia's Lower Mainland." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
