Description:
Toronto, ON: Lynx Images Inc., 2002. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; light bumping to bottom spine edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Filled to the brim with groceries and clothing, these stores had so much more to offer. In this book, Fleming explores our relationship with the general store, once an institution at the heart of every Canadian town. Indeed, many towns and cities were first established by a store, Quebec and Vancouver among them. The book explores the eclectic architecture of general stores, and it ponders their history, from the barter of butter and eggs to the occasional murder. Richly illustrated with over 300 photos from general stories across the country. and there in Fleming's stories, squeezed between rubber boots and kegs of nails, you will hear the whispers of rumour and legend, revealing the humour and the truth about who we once were.
