Book excerpt: "This 320-page hardcover book showcases some 150 Art Deco-style buildings located in big cities and small towns across Canada. More than simply a compilation of contemporary colour photographs and selected period images with informative captions, the book paints a picture of what life was like in Canada from the late 1920s to the early 1950s. The 'storytelling' aspect of this book means describes the exploits of such legendary entrepreneurs as cookie-maker William Mellis Christie, grocery merchant Theodore Pringle Loblaw, and media magnate Roy Thomson. The book explains, for example, the way Ireland's Guinness family shaped the skyline of Vancouver, how the T. Eaton Company elevated the experience of shopping, and the influence of federal, provincial and municipal politicians on the appearance of Canada's public-sector buildings. And the book reveals the rich history of some of the country's landmark sports and entertainment venues. The buildings are arranged in six 'themed' chapters with various subsections, organized around different aspects of daily life between the World Wars."--
