VanderMey, Albert
To All Our Children - the Story of the Postwar Dutch Immigration to Canada
512 pages. "Between 1946 and 1982 more than 180,000 people emigrated from The Netherlands to Canada. That enormous tide peaked in 1952, when almost 21,000 Netherlanders made Canada their home. The movement arose out of a long-occupied country whose citizens considered Canadians their liberators, out of tiny Holland's limited capacity for growth, and out of the uneasy political situation in Europe. The real result of the movement, the lives of the ordinary people who uprooted themselves to immigrate, is the subject of this overwhelming documentation. Told simply and movingly, this is the story of eveyr immigrant's experience, from the decision to leave and the journey itself to the arrival in Canada and the difficulties to be faced." - from dust jacket. Copiously illustrated in black and white. Book clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Light wear and rubbing to dust jacket. Quality copy. Book

Celebrity Lights - A Collection of Favourite Recipes from Celebrity Women in Support of Breast Cancer Research
191 pages. More than a cookbook, this is a unique story, created and shaped by the very personal moments and memories of the 96 celebrities who have generously contributed to this book. Although they lead extremely public lives, all of them took time to respond to the invitation to help celebrate the importance of caring and sharing. These remarkable women are the "lights" behind Celebrity Lights - a book designed not as a collection of light recipes but as an innovative way to create a beacon of light in the battle against breast cancer. Contributors include Hillary Clinton, Aline Chretien, Adrienne Clarkson, Diana Krall, Anne Murray and many more. A very attractive volume in glossy pastel boards. Illustrated dust jacket is similarly attractive. Approximately 8" high by 7" wide. A perfect gift. Book
