About This Item
Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A.: McClelland & Stewart Ltd, 1981 McClelland & Stewart 1981 A very Canadian book, in which a much loved CBC radio personality hung out with the Edmonton Oilers for the 1980-81 season, telling us what Wayne Gretzky was really like, and, as implied by the title, explaining how hockey and Canada are intertwined, this exemplified in particular when the minister of employment and immigration was persuaded to smooth the paths of the Stasny brothers to enable them to defect from the Czech national team to the Quebec Nordiques. Clean white boards with maroon endpapers and spine with cream lettering (look appropriate but not Oiler's colours!) Former owner's bookplate on inside cover and pages are starting to tone. Light wear to top and tail of spine but corners are good. Slight cock to spine. Dust jacket is price clipped and has five half inch tears, one of which has been scotch taped. Browning at the edges.

I search out used books on principle to highlight their value, keep them circulating and out of the landfill (and just because I am compelled to tell people to "read this"!)
