  • A really neat look at Canada, which is part picture book and part thematic essays on all things Canadian. It's a good coffee table book, with a lot of funny bits and interesting photos of everything from stubbies to a Vancouver crack den.

Douglas Coupland returns to reinventing Canada with additional proof that his bestseller Souvenir of Canada made clear: Canada is way more than slightly cool. Coupland's net has a colorful, lively mix of cultural commentary and images that include a tour of Nanaimo bars; unforgettable railways photos; and a double-headed goose that symbolizes the country's duality. In addition to his trademark visual revelations, Coupland here creates new works of art and design that further evoke the Canadian identity. Each of these objects mirrors his personal relationship to the Great White North in a way that's both local and universal.
