A humorous and historical easy-to-read book filled with colour photographs.
From the Lions Gate Bridge, to the fence post pillars of the Vancouver Special, the uniqueness of the region is celebrated through the great stone icons and the structures that wear them like an obnoxious pinky ring.
If you have spent time in one of the regionally specific Vancouver Specials or even admired their rows of simple repetitiveness, this book is right up your alley. From the little lions to the big lions (there are a lot of lions here) and the pineapples, nurses, gnomes, and everything else between, it’s a perfect book to toss in your bag to read on the Skytrain.
