Sobre este artículo
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: University of British Columbia Press, 1982. First edition, second printing, hardcover, 257 pages. A clean, bright Fine copy (i.e. in virtually brand new condition), in a VG+ to Near Fine dustjacket (very slight edgewear when examined closely) which is now protected in a clear mylar cover. A lovely copy. The photographs in this book include one of a poster distributed during the period, attempting to persuade young British women to emigrate to the Canadian West with the text: "URGENT! Thousands of nice girls are wanted in The Canadian West. Over 20,000 Men are sighing for what they cannot get -- WIVES! Shame! Don't hesitate -- COME AT ONCE. If you cannot come, send your sisters. So great is the demand that anything in skirts stands a chance. No reasonable offer refused. They are all shy but willing. All Prizes! No Blanks. Hustle up now Girls and don't miss this chance. Some of you will never get another.".
