BOOK FOR DAYTRIPPERS

From Norman,

VANCOUVER AND VICTORIA in 1-10 DAYS, by Norman
E. Adams; publishers: Adams Book Company, West Van-
couver; 148 pp., Mustrated by Victor Dezso, photographer.

He might just as well have
called it “From Norman,
With Love”. His little guide-
is. an unabashed

Vancouver, the North Shore
which is his home, all of
British Columbia, and he
wears his heart on his sleeve.
This Vancouver-Victoria
volume, just in time for the
tourist season, has many
good angles to its design. Its
consideration is the
length of the visitor's stay, so
the daily excursions start
with the high profile must-
sees, like Stanley Park and
Grouse Mountain ‘and
Capilano’s famous bridge,
embrace other major attrac-
tions such as Robson Street
and Gastown, and _ finally
spread to ought-to-sces like
Simon Fraser University and
Burnaby's Century Park.
Every set-up is timed to
the progress of the family
automobile — 2:15 we're at

but one soon understands
that some can be skipped, or
saved for another visit.

Equally detailed aré the
suggestions for “lunch and
dinner stops, and the author
has established for usa price
guide that translates into Ex-
pensive, Moderate and Inex-
pensive. Besides giving name
and locations of dining-
rooms, bistros and ham-
burger palaces, he includes
descriptons of menus, and
reveals himself as something
of a trencherman.

is longing to share.

His descriptive prose isn't
quite as scenic as his subject,
unfortunately. He tends to
tired old tags such as
“denizens of the deep”, and
“without further ado”, even
“in the | heart. of ‘historic

There is one real flaw that

Detailed directions are
provided, but the author
tends to overestimate the
driver's memory for routes
given. If a little line map
were incorporated into these
directions it would be
simpler for all.

It's a book for visitors, but
also to give to potential
visitors, whose appetite for
