Editorial Reviews
Review
“The book, pocket-sized and jammed with photographs, was a three-year labor of love, and it features buildings and parks from Etobicoke to Scarborough, the waterfront to the 401. Attention is paid to the usual suspects, Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts and the Bata Shoe Museum receive full pages, but equally enticing are little known areas like the Schulich School of Business at York University and the laneway homes on Croft Street in Little Italy.” – National Post, Mar 13, 2010
