@anchistorian.bsky.social1944 Canada at War promotional map from Lipton's Tea by Stanley Turner, the entire map and Alaska detail.

@brianbusby.bsky.socialRead for #SpinsterSeptember, this 1921 debut novel of the evolving relationship between a 46-year-old spinster seamstress and a disenchanted younger man during the final year of the Great War. Set in a thinly disguised #Montreal.

@forrestpass.bsky.socialI see your real manatee and raise you the first book published by Winnipeg-based Harlequin Enterprises, now the world's largest romance publisher, in 1949.
