Description:
Montreal, Quebec, Canada: Drawn & Quarterly Pubns, 2009. Soft cover. Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal shelfwear; "Smudge and sketchy, Vahamaki's delicate pencil lines conjure up a world whose events are dictated by a surreal interior logic, a bizarre and vaguely sinister realm where a bear and a child argue over which one of them is more qualified to drive a car and where amateur dentistry runs rampant."

Toronto, ON: Vintage Canada, 2006. Paperback. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; a few light creases to covers; spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; In 1997, a timber scout named Grant Hadwin committed an act of shocking violence in the mythic Queen Charlotte Islands. His victim was legendary: a unique 300-year-old Sitka spruce, 50m tall and covered with luminous golden needles. In a bizarre environmental protest, Hadwin attacked the tree with a chainsaw. Two days later, it fell, horrifying an entire community. Not only was the golden spruce a scientific marvel and a tourist attraction, it was sacred to the Haida people and beloved by local loggers. Shortly after confessing the crime, Hadwin disappeared under suspicuous circumstances and is missing to this day.

Description:
Waterloo, ON: Wilfrid Laurier Univ Pr, 2016. Paperback. Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; First published in 1947, this book broke new ground with its fictional representation of women and of Indigenous people. Set during the dustbowl 1930s, this novel follows Lina Ashley, a homesteader who takes her family from southern Alberta to a new life in the Peace River region. Her daughter Poppy grows up in a community characterized by harmonious interactions between Metis and the European settlers. Stil, there is tension between mother and daughter when Poppy becomes involved with a Metis lover. This novel expands the patriachal canon of Canadian prairie fiction by depicting the agency of a successful female settler and, as noted by Dorothy Livesay, was "one of the first, if not the first Canadian novel wherein the plight of the Native Indian and the Metis is honestly and painfully recorded.
