Description: "This catalogue presents examples of first editions of all the titles that have won Canada's prestigious Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction (GGS) from its inception to the present. If we look at the list as a whole, it soon becomes apparent that it represents most of the great Canadian authors of the twentieth century. This collection thus gives a fascinating perspective on the history of publishing and printing in Canada in the twentieth century. It is my hope and desire that exhibiting highlights from my collection will educate and excite the public about our outstanding literary history." -- Book jacket.
