Arrivals by John Bentley Mays

Condition: used, clean text block. Dust jacket shows shelf wear with a small tear at the top edge and scuffs on the rear; boards and corners rubbed. Inside pages look tidy and unmarked from what I can see. I would grade it Good book / Fair jacket. Why it’s great: Mays – longtime arts and architecture critic in Toronto – writes vivid narrative essays about people and moments that shaped Ontario, from early settlers to innovators like Alexander Graham Bell. It’s an engaging read for anyone into Canadian history.
