I've very happy to have my first historical book on amazon print on demand. It makes sense, printed locally one at a time, arrives within two days. Looking forward to getting more books up there.
Here's my new book Twitchell & Harris, Photographers Burlington ON and the Ladies on the Grass available on amazon print-on-demand. A great way to buy a book and have within two days.
It's the story of Burlington's first photographers and the Women's Institute, all about a mystery photograph I found in my family treasures.
It's a Hamilton story too, about my great-great grandmother, and a Hamilton street naming, Ardvolich to Baker St, a timely and tragic story from 1918.
If your parent or relative went to Dundas High School in the late 1940s, they could be here. This was my mother Ruth Jaffrey's class in 1944.
