Book Publishing

At this time, all the books shown on ”yourhistory.ca” have been produced for the various communities by the Friesen Corporation. Friesens is the largest book producing company in Canada. I have worked with them for many years, and at this time I am a contract agent for them in British Columbia (doing what else, history books). I know of no other company in Canada that produces the quality of book that Friesens does, and at an affordable price. With the professional help of qualified sales staff in every province, and also into the USA, Friesens can provide you with the best product available.

If you are working on a local history book, or thinking of doing one, you may want to request a copy of several free books, and a workshop for your group.

The great majority of local history books are written by volunteers, many of whom are uncertain of recommended English usage. This volume is aimed directly at these community enthusiasts. It's a first person, easy to read, study of some of the problems facing amateur editors.

Also available free upon request for your history book project.
