Richard White’s long-awaited history of the Beaches is now available!
“A compelling account of the chaotic development of a beloved urban neighbourhood. The book ranges over topics such as land speculation, recreation, house-building styles, individual enterprise, and the evolution of a sense of community. A thoughtful book that makes delightful reading.” (Roberto Perin, Professor Emeritus of History, York University)
