Waves and Plagues truly different

presents a singular view of the
world with Edo-period technique
employed as a vehicle for examin-
ing modern topics. :

The cover shot of Waves and
Plagues, for example, shows a
traditional Geisha figure common
in paintings over a century ago in
the midst of a most untraditional
pursuit: tearing open a package of
condoms.

Similar jarring images recur
throughout Waves and Plagues
(Chronicle/Raincoast; 86 pp.;
$20.95 softcover/$41.95 in hard-
cover), such as one of a samurai
equipped with sword — and
35mm camera.

Do you ever have the itch to just
get out and go somewhere new?
Somewhere exciting or romantic
or just plain scenic, but you
haven't the faintest idea where?
Where To Stay & Play Along The
Pacific Coast probably has the an-

swer. ;
Featuring locations from B.C. to

California’s San Francisco, Where
To Stay & Play... is a handy
guidebook and resource for just
about every kind of resort, bed &
breakast joint, motel, hotel that
anyone could wish. Chock-full of
details such as amenities, attrac-
tions, locations, access and con-
tact information, Where To Stay &
Play... (Northwest
Beachcomber/Raincoast; 401 pp.;
$16.95 in paperback) is certainly
the most comprehensive book of
its kind this reviewer has seen to
date, but has one major drawback:
not a single photograph is provid-
ed to illustrate why these are ap-
pealing destinations.
