What's New In Publications

FOREWORD

It is difficult to keep track of exact publication, release, cessation, remainder and out-of-print dates, so please treat this page as a general guide and information source.

Some publishers issue new books frequently, and their websites should be consulted first for the latest updates.

This page is designed primarily to draw your attention to random, often self-published, ventures. Those authors, I hope you will agree, should be given special support and encouragement.

Thank you.

ON THE WRIGHT TRACK - by Bonnie Sitter

Review (partial):

By William E. “Bill” McLeod

“On the Wright Track: Memories from C.P.R. School Car # 2” is a delightful, well written and eminently readable account of the lives of William and Helen Wright and their four children . From its inception in September of 1928 to its retirement in June of 1967, Mr. Wright taught in the railway school car that ran between the C.P.R. Divisional Points of Chapleau and White River in Northern Ontario.
...

"To tell this story, the author chose to invite the four Wright children to write a chapter describing their lives before they went off to high school. Shirley was born in 1935, Harvey in 1936, Nancy in 1938 and Chris in 1943. They had nothing but good things to say about their experience. Two former pupils were also asked to make a contribution and they too were very positive.

How to order a copy: ($25 plus $6 shipping in Canada)
