If you love Nova Scotia (and we know you do), you sim- ply must have the Nova Scotia Outstanding Outhouse Reader.
GOLD MINE
How I wish “Nova Scotia’s Outstanding Outhouse Reader” had been around years ago when I was a new immigrant to Nova Scotia. It is a ‘gold’ mine of information, with a “Wow, I didn’t know that” on almost every page. For visitors, genealogists, or potential immigrants, this is the perfect volume to shed light on the province’s colourful and intriguing back story. The author’s reputation for thorough research and readability shines through.
— Susan B. Borgersen, author of Light Cycle
