| Title: Tuesdays with Jack |
| Sub-title: A grandmother's love and a little boy's brilliance |
| By (author): Pauline Daniel |
| ISBN10-13: 1926991826 : 9781926991825 |
| This is a heartwarming memoir of introspection and observation, a humorous look into a family with the kind of enchanting moments and unflinching devotion, blended with mess and exhaustion, that we can all relate to. Jacks batteries are running out in his head. But only for songs. Through the inventive eyes of this little boy and his grandmother, we are given insight into their world together, with the fun and wonderment of two lives that are full of beautiful instants, floppy bits, and intimate scenes that make your heart stop. This is the story of Buba and Jack making whipped cream and making magic, a captivating chronicle permeated by the kind of intense love that can only be given by a grandmother. |

| Title: UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) |
| Sub-title: The First Century |
| By (author): Union of British Columbia Municipalities |
| ISBN10-13: 1894694392 : 9781894694391 |
| This book provides readers with accessible and thought-provoking commentary, teamed with newspaper accounts and personal anecdotes. The book is amply embellished with photographs, newspaper clippings and excerpts from municipal resolutions. In 1905 the local governments of BC realised a long-held goal of building an organisation to provide a unified voice for local governments -- the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. UBCM, which continues to serve as the voice for local governments, commemorates their achievements in this book. It is compiled, researched and written by a team at UBCM, chiefly Yale graduate and planner Harmony Folz, along with former CBC writer and broadcaster Wendy Bancroft. |

| Title: Vancouver in Focus |
| Sub-title: The City's Built Form |
| By (author): Mike Chadwick |
| ISBN10-13: 1894694449 : 9781894694445 |
| In contrast to the typical panorama shots of Vancouver, this collection is a nod to the built structures of the city. Far more than a photo collection, this book is a guide complete with maps and pointers. It is an invitastion to explore the subjects of its pages, that bring together old and new, bridges and buildings, objective and subjective realities. The area covered encompasses the city's downtown core, from Stanley Park eastward to the neighbourhoods of Chinatown and Citygate, and from Coal Harbour south to English Bay, Granville Island and False Creek. Offering a fresh exploration of the city's downtown areas, this highly readable book will appeal to visitors, newcomers and long-time residents alike. |

| Prologue; Urban Planning; West Georgia; West End; Coal harbour; Weterfront; Burrard; Downtown Core; Downtown East; False Creek; Index. |

| Title: Walking on Heads |
| Sub-title: My Charming Imposter -- A Cautionary Tale |
| By (author): Dania Matiation |
| ISBN10-13: 1926991087 : 9781926991085 |
| This novel is based on the true story of the author's relationship with a charming imposter. Anni Mills lived a comfortable, fulfilling life. Then, cancer struck. Both she and her daughter, who was in the prime of her life, received the same damning diagnosis. Under a guise of empathy and adoration, a Dutch 'academic' moved into her life, only to benefit financially from her generosity and grief over the loss of her daughter. Following his abrupt departure, evidence led Anni to other women around the world who were similarly misled by this charlatan. They began to blog -- with wisdom, wit, feistiness and resilience -- about his web of deceit. |

| Title: Westwood |
| Sub-title: Everyone's Favourite Racing Circuit |
| By (author): Tom Johnston |
| ISBN10-13: 189469449X : 9781894694490 |
| Westwood (or 'Wetwood' as some called it) was the first purpose-built automobile road-racing track in Canada. Its location in Coquitlam on the slopes of British Columbia's coastal mountains meant that it often rained, but the rest of the time it may well have been the most beautiful racing circuit in the world. The track was built and owned by the Sports Car Club of British Columbia. SCCBC members viewed it as a special place where family members of racing enthusiasts grew up over its 32 seasons. The track ran just about any kind of racing that came along for cars, motorcycles and karts, but was best known for its spectacular races for smaller formula cars, Formula Atlantic in particular. Sadly, in 1990 Westwood suffered the common fate of racetracks located near expanding cities world-wide and was converted into a housing development and golf course. |

| Title: Yukon |
| Sub-title: Life Between the Gold Rush & the Alaska Highway |
| By (author): Joann Robertson |
| ISBN10-13: 1926991095 : 9781926991092 |
| Joann Robertson's grandfather moved to the Yukon in 1897 to make his fortune. He did not succeed, but loved the North and decided to settle there. Leaving their eldest two children in London, his wife joined him in 1899. They had six more children born in various settlements. The life the family lived and the work they did -- telegraphy, dog team mail delivery, teaching and working in the gold-mining industry -- were typical of the Yukon during this era. From memories of her Yukon youth, family letters, photographs, unpublished works and news clippings, Joann describes the life of her and other families during this little-known period of Yukon time. Her narrative -- at one point describing the dismantling of a Model T Ford to smuggle it by canoe across a river in the dead of night -- echoes her love of this unique society. |
