What people are saying

MARVELOUS . . .
“A marvelously eclectic compendium — historic, contemporary, geographic, economic, meteorological, sociological, anthropological, political, positive, negative, important, trivial and just plain fun — that goes a long way to explaining who we are.”
—Stephen Kimber, author of Sailors, Slackers, and Blind Pigs: Halifax at War

WORTHY OF A SERIES . . .
“I wanted to see if the contents lived up to the front cover boast that it included everything you wanted to know. I read it cover to cover. This is a book worthy of a series.”
—Fred Hatfield, Yarmouth Vanguard
