What people are saying

ENCYCLOPEDIC . . .
“This is the closest readers are likely to get to a New Brunswick encyclopedia… It’s all here, from minute biographies of the province’s biggest names to Guiness Book of Records-type superlatives, recording New Brunswick’s best, worst, and firsts.”
-Eric Marks, New Brunswick Reader

ENTERTAINING . . .
“The result is an entertaining publication that deserves a spot on every New Brunswick bookshelf.”
-Marty Klinkenberg, Saint John Telegraph Journal

QUIRKY . . .
“I often found myself wishing there was a single source for the most interesting and most requested information – the hard facts and quirky details that set this province apart.  University of New Brunswick professor Martha Walls must have had a similar idea.”
-Eric Marks, New Brunswick Reader

PROOF . . .
“The saying goes that the proof of the pudding is in the eating.  And, the proof of a book is in the reading… The first few folks that I showed this book to, without exception, wanted to know right away where they could buy a copy!”
D.C. Butterfield, The Bugle-Observer
