Pollock, Ann; Reid, Mary; McEwen, John Marconi in the Sculpture of John McEwen
Winnipeg, MB, Canada The Winnipeg Art Gallery 2007 978-0-88915-239 Soft Cover Very Good
This beautifully illustrated oversized volume is the most important monograph yet on the work of the senior Canadain artist. For thirty years, John McEwen's sculptures have explored the nature of communication between animals, animals and people and the artwork and the viewer. He creates life-size silhouettes of animals, mainly dogs or wolves, most of which are flame cut from sheets of steel. By locating them in different environments, new relationships are produced and new associations are evoked. For McEwen the one constant in the human imagination is the animal and Marconi, a full-size German Shepherd created in 1978, was the first sculpture in a long series. This retrospective publication examines Marconi's original role as a vehicle of the imagination, a primary component of which is that animals are a necessary source of deliverance and hope. We are also provided with a visual reminder of the many public spaces across the country - universities, institutions, memorials and parks - that are indelibly marked by McEwen's emblematic works. 96 pages with 40 colour illustrations.

Rayden, Arthur E. Mercers' Hall
London, England Country Life Ltd. 1947 Limited / Numbered Hard Cover Good No Jacket
Top edge cut and gilt, other edges uncut. #171 / 1000. Tipped in on front end page is a gift note from The Mercers' Company. Spine faded from sunning. Pages yellowing on edges. 54 pages illustrated with B&W plates. The records of the Mercers' Company date back to 1348 but the Company is certainly older than this for in that year new ordinances were drawn up for the conduct of its affairs. The second Hall, designed by Edward Jarman and John Oliver, was built between 1667 and 1676 and opened in May 1676. The second Hall was extensively refurbished during the period 1877 to 1881. The frontage was remodelled by George Barnes Williams and the interiors were redesigned by John Gregory Crace, the renowned and fashionable Victorian designer. Further restoration was also carried out in 1926-30, but on the night of 10/11 May 1941 the Hall was completely destroyed by fire during an air raid in the Second World War.

Rivard, Ron; Littlejohn, Catherine The History of the Metis of Willow Bunch
Saskatoon, SK, Canada Self Published 2003 Soft Cover Very Good Signed by Both Authors
This award-winning book traces the history of the Métis of Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan from their origins in Red River in the late seventeenth century to their founding of "Talle de Saules" near the present site of Willow Bunch in the 1870s. Containing dozens of photographs and illustrations, this book is a great contribution to our knowledge of the origins of this historic Métis community. From the Prologue, "The original maps of the first settlements to this area clearly show that our Métis homesteads were firmly established. We were real people with real homes. The memory of the Willow Bunch Métis before the newcomers came has been virtually erased from the memories of all in Willow Bunch, including the Métis. However, there were those who would not forget and who insisted that the history of Willow Bunch started long before those who now said they were here first. This book is the result of the stubborn insistence of the Métis of Willow Bunch that their story must be told." BX 63
