About This Item
The name of "Naramata" came about when "Mrs. Gillespie, during a spiritualistic trance, was entered by the spirit of a great Sioux Indian chief named Big Moose. Big Moose spoke of his dearly loved wife in the most endearing terms and called her by the name "Nar-ra-mat-tah" as she was the "Smile of Manitou". I was so struck by this that I decided this was a good name for our village. I had thought of calling it "Brighton Beach" but upon consultation it was decided to drop the unnecessary letters and call the town NARAMATA."

About Stillman Books
After closing my most recent bookstore in White Rock, B.C., I have decided to sell strictly online for the foreseeable future. My inventory is heavy on
children's and other illustrated books, along with aviation, sea and naval and other categories. I'm still plugging along after 42 years of book-selling.
