@arsenalpulp.bsky.socialđ âThis is my type of historyâquirky, fun, engaging, and at times sardonic. SHOT IN VANCOUVER is a book you can open anywhere and settle in for a story and a bit of industry gossip. I guarantee youâll be looking at the city through a completely different lens.â âEve Lazarus, author of COLD CASE BC
![The cover of the book âShot in Vancouverâ by Sam Wiebe. Stacked text above reads, âHappy book birthday,â along with the book's title and subtitle and the author's name. Below, footer text lists the publisher, Arsenal Pulp Press, and their website, arsenal pulp [dot] com. The painted abstract background is a rose gold colour and has the publisherâs logomark (a circle with an off-centre jagged cross cut through) in the top-right.
On the cover, the title and subtitle, âShot in Vancouver: Adventures in Hollywood North,â stretch across the centre of a busy backdrop. In the top half, the sun radiates in a cloud-filled sky where fake UFOs held up by strings hover above snow-capped mountains and the Vancouver city skyline featuring Harbour Centre. In the bottom half, sailboats float through water alongside a thick forest where a cardboard cutout of the Statue of Liberty is nestled among the trees. The authorâs name, âSam Wiebe,â appears in the lower left corner. Various scenes from romance, horror, and action movies are visible in the letters of the title. The cover is drawn in a dynamic comic style, and the overall colour cast is orange, yellow, pink, purple, blue, and green.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:iya26ik7fy2b6hyuxs6ztvbv/bafkreiblbxm2bznklahsbpem6afvvjmgudp6obafo7tcvplsqaoayouilu@jpeg)

On the cover, a photo portrait of a womanâs face takes up most of it. Her eyes, nose, and mouth have been cut out, revealing the blue backdrop behind her. Smoke pours out from the eye and nose holes. The woman has long, straight brown hair with some flyaways. The title, âTougher Than the Rest,â appears in an orange circle that covers one of the womanâs eyes. At the top is the authorâs name, âDina Del Bucchia,â and the word âstories.â Below the authorâs name is a blurb that reads, âA tender collection of stories ⌠wry, captivating, and cutting. âZoe Whittall.â](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:iya26ik7fy2b6hyuxs6ztvbv/bafkreigehx6t2zfyhk6vupwjtdzz2bvdmjxg7ddtxqzunqiovwa3c6i7vy@jpeg)
