Reader Reviews
This book is the worse; a shoddy, simple, listing of the books published in Canada. There is no insight that is not insipid. There are lame attempts to connect the history of publishing to the growth of reading, but beyond that obvious theory, there is a whole lot on nothing. Academically this book is bankrupt. There is no scholarship, no passion, nothing. And the monies given in grant to complete this project should be considered given in bad faith. What a waste. Hollow, pompous and dull! The history of the book in Canada now has one awful addition. Avoid at all costs!!!
