The
Stanley Park Explorer
Price: $8.95
Though there are newer editions which include more parks in the lower mainland we still think this 175 page paperback was writer Mike Steele's best effort on Vancouver's first park. With this book in hand every day tripper can explore the nooks and crannies of Lord Stanley's Park while picking up tidbits of historic gossip and trivia which will make you an instant hit at discerning dinner parties when park history is the topic of discussion. This book too will answer all those enduring school essay questions which we've all been asked to provide answers for the eve before due date. Limited copies available.
Please email us for more information about this publication.
The
First 100 Years

Published by the Vancouver Park Board to mark their Centennial in 1988, this colourful hardback volume does double duty as a handy history tool and lovely coffee table book. Author Mike Steele weaves an interesting tale bringing Vancouver's pioneering past to the present with a special panache. Beautiful colour images. A perfect gift for the newcomer or native history buff.
