PICKFORD - The Woman Who Made Hollywood
Eileen (re: Mary Pickford) Whitfield

MacFarlane Walter and Ross, 1997

A Fantastic Read
I think I can say that this book changed my life. I love movies and the people who make them, and for some reason I was not at all familar with the great Mary Pickford. Reading Ms. Whitfield's PICKFORD: THE WOMAN WHO MADE HOLLYWOOD, I laughed, I cried and I was amazed ...
  
  











  



  
Who Gets In: What's wrong with Canada's immigration program - and how to fix it
Daniel Stoffman

Macfarlane, Walter & Ross, 2002

Required reading for anyone concerned about Canada
Thank God Daniel Stoffman decided to write a book about Canada's incredibly lax immigration and refugee system. As he points out so well in his book, you're labelled a racist or anti-immigrant if you dare speak up and question what our government(s) has done to a once ...
  
  











  



  
A Friend of the Family: The True Story of David Snow (Resources for Biblical Study)
Alison Shaw

Macfarlane Walter & Ross, 1998

For a 1st book, it was insightful and sensitive
As Alison is my sister, I suppose I'm being biased by giving this book a rave review. However, being an avid reader I was impressed with how she handles the subject matter, giving the reader an insight into not only the character, but her own suspicions about a man ...
  
  











  



  
What to Listen for in Beethoven

Great book for the new classical hobbyist
Robert Harris has a reputation for writing in a way that those new to classical music can easily comprehend. Yet, it isn't a basic book either that you can get in a couple hours either. Harris intersperses his quite engaging story telling of Beethoven's life and ...

LEVELS OF THE GAME
John McPhee

MacFarlane Walter & Ross, 1993

a real pinnacle in Sports writing
Ostensibly this book is about a tennis match, Arthur Ashe versus Clark Graebner in the 1968 US Open Semifinals. The match was historic in itself: "It has been thirteen years since an American won the men's-singles final at Forest Hills, and this match will ...
  
  











  



  
Of Ice and Men; Dominik Hasek, Chris Chelios, Steve Yzerman, GlenSather: The Craft of Hockey
Bruce Dowbiggin

Macfarlane Walter & Ross, 1998

Flawed but interesting
A flawed but interesting book. It attempts to be a hockey version of Peter King's "Inside the Helmet," but without King's insight. What will truly annoy fans of the game are the factual errors that any competent editor would have caught. For example, Dowbiggin writes ...
  
  











  



  
Saboteurs: Wiebo Ludwig's War Against Big Oil

Macfarlane, Walter & Ross, 2002

One of the best Non-Ficion novels out today
Andrew has captured the essence of Wiebo Ludwig with this book. This book reads like a thriller, a mystery and a drama, and it is all true. He has gone beyond what the news told you about the saga that gripped the Alberta Oilfield and told the real story. It is an ...

More interesting then I expected
An excellent book on the history and evolution of the hockey stick. From tree trunks and roots to graphite and composites. Includes some interesting stories along the way. The many companies, countries, and individuals who have entered this odd and (suprisingly) ...
  
  











  



  
Editing Canadian English - Second Edition - Revised, Updated, and Redesigned
Editors' Assoc Of Canada

Macfarlane Walter & Ross, 2000

It's only a bit ironic that this book is only available on a US site!
This book, Editing Canadian English 2nd ed. (2000), is an extremely useful guide for those of us who write or edit in Canada, and as far as I know the *only* copyediting book written from a Canadian perspective and for a Canadian audience. It doubles as a grammar ...
