January Magazine just did a plug for Clare and Adams’s Atlantic Canada’s 100 Greatest Books. (The ultimate coffee table book or gift for Atlantic Canadian book lovers … a phenomenal, well-designed, well-delivered resource every Canadian reader ought to have in their bookcase.)

They worded it so well, and that first sentence there is so very true, that I had to copy and paste:

“Atlantic Canada’s 100 Greatest Books is like a blueprint for what provinces, states, regions and even countries should be doing for their literature. In straightforward fashion and in easily accessible language, it rounds up the 100 greatest books of Canada’s huge and literally formidable Atlantic region. Full stop. Then it bundles them all together under a bright, shiny cover, giving a couple of pages and a full color representation to each of the chosen 100 along with a breezy write-up and — voila! — a literary map for anyone who would like to hit all of the regional highlights.”
