PRAISE FOR ANGEL AND OTHERWISE EDITIONS


For Canada’s House

“A heady, handsome volume. . . . A comprehensive cultural and historical account. . . . Stuffed with mouth-watering photographs and assembled with a palpable sense of pride, it pulls off the difficult trick of being both good-looking and scholastically impressive. . . . Each [section is] written beautifully and authoritatively by experts in the field. . . . A gallery of Canadian splendours past and present. . . . This book is mesmerising.”
—Quill & Quire

 

“Canada’s House does the vice-regal residence justice.”
—Macleans

 

“Canada’s House has a family album feel, its prose seasoned with info bites and plenty of photographs of Rideau Hall past and present.”
—The Globe and Mail


“A sumptuous marriage of words and images. . . . Canada’s House . . . is a loving look at the growth of a Canadian identity.”
—The Ottawa Citizen


"The illustrations, the conversations, and the writing are excellent."
—New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal

 

“Canada’s House is a splendid book, lush, stylish and laced with interesting lore. It is a book to be read and re-read, owned and slowly savoured.”
—The London Free Press

 

For The Museum Called Canada

“The Museum Called Canada is certainly one of the best-looking books produced in the country’s publishing history. Aside from the gorgeously photographed images worthy of Vogue magazine and their accompanying short, easily digestible texts reading like the smart sidebars of academics texts, the museum conceit infuses the book with a chic that is self-conscious without being annoying.”
—The Globe and Mail
 
“Try to imagine the perfect museum with all the best artifacts of all the best museums in Canada.”
—Times Colonist (Victoria)

 

"The illustrations and photographs are wonderful, evoking a startling wealth of places and objects that could never grace a real museum...The Museum Called Canada is a magnificent undertaking splendidly executed. Canadians can now have their own national museum on their coffee table.”
—John Wilson, Quill & Quire starred review

“A Best Book of the Year”

—Mordecai Richler, Saturday Night

 

“Canada: Our Century is a wondrous thing—clever, canny photography meant to be read and savoured.”
—The Edmonton Journal
