From lumber town and G-town to capital city and the Byward Market, and from Rideau Canal and the Beaver Tail to profiles of Colonel By Alanis Morissette and the Stopwatch Gang, there is no book on Ottawa as comprehensive and as fun as the Ottawa Book of Everything, 2nd Edition.

Well-known Ottawans give you their take on lesser-known aspects of Canada's capital city. Ben Mulroney tells his five things you didn't know about living at 24 Sussex Drive; filmmaker Lee Demarbre's five best places to shoot in Ottawa. From the coldest, the hottest and iciest weather, Ottawa's third official language of bureaucratese, the most sensational crimes, the GG and the city's First People--it's all here!
