Edmonton: Portrait of a City, is by far the most thorough, complete and fascinating book every published on Alberta's burgeoning capital city. After two years of painstaking research and effort, authors Dennis Person and Carin Routledge have compiled a massive volume, containing over 400 photographs and almost 100,000 words of text, that crisply and entertainingly takes the reader from the days of the Fort to the 1980s. Booms. Busts. Growth. Wars. ModelTs and LRTs; the Edmonton Grads and the Edmonton Oilers; the Thistle Rink and Commonwealth Stadium; "Funny Money" and the Heritage Trust Fun; they're all here - and much more. Edmonton: Portrait of a City will quickly become the Edmonton gift book, the Edmonton reference book. For long-time residents, it will evoke many a fond memory. For younger Edmontonians and newcomers, it will provide an intriguing overview of a city with more history, character and characters that many of its staunchest supports might believe.
