2018"When Anna Porter arrived in Canada in 1968 with one battered suitcase, little money and a head full of dreams, she had no idea that this country would become her home for the rest of her life, or that she would play a major role in defining what it means to be a Canadian. And where better to become a Canadian than at McClelland & Stewart, an epicentre of cultural and artistic creation in post-Expo 67 Canada? In Other Words is a charming, lively, gossipy memoir of an intriguing life that spans a world war, a revolution, family secrets, ancient hatreds, and a dynamic cultural awakening in a new home. Porter's memoir takes you behind the scenes into the non-stop world of Jack McClelland, the swashbuckling head of M&S, whose celebrated authors... Laurence--dominated bestseller lists. She offers up intriguing portraits of struggling writers (often women), of prima donnas... whose excesses threatened to sink M&S, of exhausted editors dealing with intemperate authors, of crazy schemes to interest Canadians in buying books. She recalls the heady days when as the president of her own company, Key Porter Books, she dodged lawsuits, struggled with bank managers, and fought to sell Canadian authors around the world. And she brings to vivid life that time in our history when-- finally--the voices we wanted to listen to were our own. An entertaining and vivid portrait of a career spent in the publishing trenches... she offers readers an unforgettable portrait of what is lost and gained in a lifetime of telling stories." 464p.plates, index Book

First Edition, [ii],46pp., title and last leaf a little dusty, disbound. "The quality of sugar formed no just basis for taxation. Such a system was inexpedient because it would encourage the production of low-grade product, particularly in the newly conquered colonies which were capable of supplying an almost unlimited quantity of the superior article. It would be impossible to grade sugars properly into the several classes according to which they would be taxed in the proposal under consideration. There would be much fraud to secure the benefit of low rates. Completely side-steps the great fact that it was not equitable to exact the same duty as formerly when sugar had declined to one-third of its one-time value."?Ragatz, p.281.
