To quote "... a book of pictures and stories of war veterans from the Great Northern Peninsula and coastal Labrador who fought in World War I, World War II, as well as the Korean and Gulf Wars." Includes numerous poems and several essays by the author (the essays tending more toward patriotism than strict accuracy). Strength in the hundreds of names and photos of servicemen, plus photos of various war related scenes, but overall probably mostly of interest to people familiar with the locales covered.

Nine essays, not all related to Newfoundland, but of the chapters that are about Newfoundland, the two by McCann are quite interesting. Obviously a bit dated due to the elimination of the subject.

Subtitled "The Titanic, Marconi, Shipwrecks and the Lighthouse people" and "A History of Cape Race Newfoundland". [7-1/2x9-5/8 format] Although this slim book contains information about shipwrecks and the locale, including numerous photos, it is primarily a history of the three families that mainly staffed the lighthouse: the Halley, Myrick and Collins families.

A series of the author's opinions, most previously published as newspaper columns. At her best when discussing politics and Newfoundland's place in Canada. Often biting commentary, but also a lively read. Mostly about Newfoundland.

A reprint of a few papers commenting on the 1968 Memorial University report "Communities In Decline" about resettlement. Very slim.

A twelve year old girl in Greenland falls asleep while hiding aboard a ship that then sets sail and takes her along on a voyage of exploration to the northern part of Newfoundland. She meets and befriends natives, and also some descendants of earlier Viking visitors. An adventure tale for readers about the age of the heroine.

An American writer goes on a sealing trip in 1922 aboard the wooden-wall steamer Terra Nova with legendary captain Abraham Kean. An interesting read that doesn't spare the grit and gore, but also includes large helpings of folklore and superstitions. Neither pro nor anti sealing. While generally using tones of awe when describing the men who go out to the ice with so little to gain for so much effort and danger, the author often lapses into somewhat condescending descriptions of these same men. Bogs down at times when trying to present the men's spoken outport dialects in print. While purporting to be an accurate retelling of events, reads more like a dramatized version; for instance, the amounts of quoted conversations would have required a tape recorder, which the author didn't have. Includes a glossary of local words and terms. See "The Greatest Hunt in the World" for the 1969 republication of this work.

Subtitled "A Juried Exhibition In Print". [8-1/2x11 format] Color reproductions of works by 42 Newfoundland artists, including a brief narrative and usually 2, 3 or 4 works for each artist. While not having the same impact as viewing the actual art, still a wonderful sampler.

Subtitled "A Social History of the Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland, 1939-1949". As much about the author's versions of various events that unfolded in Newfoundland as about the station. Often bogs down in names and trivial details. Includes a few b&w photos.

A collection of brief vignettes of numerous men (and a few women) who served in various branches of the services, including the Merchant Marine and forestry units. Mostly based on personal interviews. Often very interesting when a subject relates the story of his own experiences.

A mixture of a biography of Joseph Joyce, a Methodist minister who in 1924 founded the radio station that was to become VOWR, and a history of the operation and growth of the station. Pretty much a fan letter with a heavy overlay of religion.

An edited translation of some of Thoulet's writings while aboard a French frigate patrolling the French Shore of Newfoundland. About half of the book is about the ocean crossing and the nearby French islands and territories, but his opinions about the various places and people that he encounters in Newfoundland - from Bonne Bay up and around St. Anthony's and into White Bay - are well worth a read. Includes many interesting black&white photos of the places visited.
