Book gives fascinating
look at early Deep Cove

WELL HERE’S an interesting assortment: history, the en-
vironment, art and’a guide to fun along the Pacific coast. A
rather bizarre conglomeration I'll grant you, but, at the very

dustry.

M’Gonigle and Wickwire have
managed to pack Stein with refer-
ences to the Stein Valley's climate,

least, an intriguing one.

First off, iet’s have a look ata
fascinating piece of local history
with Echoes Across The Inlet, a
chronicle of the Deep Cove area
published by the Deep Cove and
Area Heritage Association.

This collaborative effort featuring
the talents of the North Shore’s
Dawn Sparks, Martha Border and
Damien Inwood is a large-format
(8%"’x11" or roughly 22 cm x 28
cm for metric converts) softcover
retrospective of the Deep Cove
area.

It’s a pretty handsome piece of
work with a generous component
of archival photographs depicting
a Deep Cove raost of us would be
hard pressed to recognize today.

Through anecdotes, personal
remembrances, and 106 black and
white photographs and maps, the
authors have done a fine job of
turning the history of a relatively
restricted geographic area into an
engaging story.

Distribution of Echoes Across
The Inlet is limited, but copies, at
$19.95 each, can be had at the
following locations: Block Bros.
offices, 3709 Delbrook; the
Seycove Library, 1204 Caledonia;
Pavlik Travel, 2221 Panorama

Drive; and Ron Andrews Pool on
Mount Seymour Parkway.

One of the few B.C. Book Prize
nominees we haven’t examined in
this column so far is Stein — The
Way Of The River (Talon Books;
189 op.; $39.95 in hardcover). So
let's correct that nasty oversight
right now.

Authors Michael M’Gonigle and
Wendy Wickwire richly deserve
the acclaim they're now receiving
for what has to be one of the best
quality books published in B.C. in
the past year.

A book of great beauty with a
strong environmental theme, Stein
offers a definitive overview of a
magnificent ecological region that
remains at the centre of a fre-
quently bitter battle between con-
servationists and the forest in-

terrain, importance to native peo-
ples and indeed just about
everything a reader might want to
know in the way of gathering
background material on the

origins of the logging conflict. The
amazing thing is that they’ve been -
able to accomplish this without
detracting from the book’s broader
appeal as a souvenir or general in-
terest title.

Stein — The Way Of The River
is selling briskly in stores across
the Lower Mainland thanks to two
recent develcpments: the book’s
nomination for the prestigious
Duthie Booksellers’ Prize, and the
announcement by forest giant
Fletcher Challenge that pre-logging
activities have been halted for at
least the next year. As a result,
some local bookstores report their
stocks of Stein dwindling fast....

Collectors of odd art will find
their appetite piqued by the
decidedly unusual Waves and

collection of the art of Masami
