"Agnes Ayre’s ABCs of Amazing Women: Newfoundland & Labrador Women of Note (Some of Whom Won Us the Vote) is a fascinating book for readers of any age because it tells the stories of women who conquered unimaginable feats yet were largely excluded from the history books." -- Juanita Mercer, The Telegram, 23 June 2019

| Title: Agnes Ayre's Notebook |
| Sub-title: Recipes from Old St. John's |
| By (author): Roger Pickavance, Agnes Marion Murphy |
| ISBN10-13: 1775234592 : 9781775234593 |
| In the early twentieth century, Newfoundland trailblazer Agnes Marion Miller Ayre became an outspoken advocate for allowing women to vote. She was also an avid botanist and an accomplished artist who published a book, Wild Flowers of Newfoundland. One overlooked aspect of Ayres remarkable life was a recipe collection she wrote in a small notebook, starting in 1917. She did not bother with traditional recipes -- not a boiled dinner or pan-fried cod to be found -- but collected out-of-the-ordinary dishes for the time, along with ingenious ways of being frugal with leftovers. Intrigued by this historical document and curious about what exactly the lady of a middle-class household in World War I St. Johns would feed her family, Roger Pickavance and Agnes Marion Murphy (Ayres granddaughter) set about cooking all 140 recipes in the century-old notebook. Most worked well, some did not, and many would make a welcome addition to a modern cooks repertoire. Pickavance and Murphy have reworked some recipes, filling in the blanks, simplifying steps, and offering ingredient substitutions where required. The result is a glimpse into the personal life of Agnes Ayre -- and a cookbook full of delicious surprises. |

| Title: Album Rock |
| Sub-title: Looking back through the lens of Paul-Émile Miot |
| By (author): Matthew Hollett |
| ISBN10-13: 177523455X : 9781775234555 |
| Part art history, part road trip, and part detective story, Album Rock began when Matthew Hollett stumbled across an intriguing photograph from the 1850s on the website of the Corner Brook Museum and Archives. Paul-à mile Miot was one of the first photographers to visit Newfoundland. His photo Rocher peint par les marins français (Rock painted by French sailors) shows the word Album painted on a prominent rock in Sacred Bay, on Newfoundlands Great Northern Peninsula. Over 160 years later, the landmark is still known as Album Rock. But whats the story behind this curious scene? And who are the sailors posing on the rock? A lively and insightful work of creative nonfiction and poetry, Album Rock touches on the history of photography in Newfoundland, Miots travels around the French Shore, and the power of naming in shaping our perceptions of a place. Its also a celebration of curiosity and the joy of delving into the mystery of a peculiar photograph. |

Part art history, part road trip, part detective story. Album Rock began when English student and award-winning author Matthew Hollett stumbled across an intriguing photograph from the 1850s on the Corner Brook Museum and Archives website. Paul-Émile Miot was one of the first photographers to visit Newfoundland. His photo, Rocher peint par les marins français (Rock painted by French sailors), shows the word “album” painted on a prominent rock in Sacred Bay, on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula. More than 160 years later, the landmark is still known as Album Rock. But what’s the story behind this curious scene? And who are the sailors posing on the rock? A lively and insightful work of creative non-fiction and poetry, Album Rock touches on the history of photography in Newfoundland, Miot’s travels around the French Shore and the power of naming in shaping our perceptions of a place. It’s also a celebration of curiosity and the joy of delving into the mystery of a peculiar photograph. Memorial University Gazette - https://gazette.mun.ca/research/books-at-memorial/album-rock/

| Come from Away brought Newfoundland and Labrador to the bright lights of Broadway, but it's not the first time this province has taken centre stage.

Filled with delightful and quirky trivia, And the Tony Goes To... collects these anecdotes and appearances. Some of these stories you may have heard before -- others will take you by surprise. All of them offer a bit of insight and fun, and the chance to bask in Newfoundland and Labrador's 15 minutes of fame. |
