Customer Reviews

Must read for residents in Vancouver...

I absolutely enjoyed going through this book, I was so encaptured by Berelowitz's understanding of my hometown that I went through the book in just a few days. His view of the city is a pretty balanced one and his insight into Vancouver is genuine. The subjects discussed will probably resonate most with Vancouver residents but for avid tourists that share a passion for Vancouver, the books for you. An informed opinion on the subject, Berelowitz celebrates our city and provides ideas on what could be in the future.Finally, a book on Vancouver that uses non-stock photographs!! Some great views of such a great city, even though they're mostly in black and white. The educational worth in the book for people with more than a passing interest is astounding.
