Gerald K. Stone has collected books about Canadian Jewry since the early 1980s. This volume is a descriptive catalog of his Judaica collection, comprising nearly 6,000 paper or electronic documentary resources in English, French, Yiddish, and Hebrew.

QUEBEC, Birthplace of New France
A Visual Exploration of Quebec City This book is the second in a series of four volumes that will provide a visual exploration of Quebec City, its history and its architecture. While the first volume, Quebec, World Heritage City focused on the upper town, this one, Quebec, Birthplace of New France takes us down to the lower town, where the city began early in the 17th century, with the establishment of a little trading post by the shore of the St. Lawrence River.

Textes sur l'art
Cet ouvrage réunit 42 articles écrits pour le quotidien Le Devoir en 1955 et 1956. Ils constituent une chronique approfondie de la vie artistique montréalaise de l’époque, alors témoin, entre autres, du passage de l’influence de Borduas et des Automatistes à celle des Plasticiens (Jauran et Fernand Leduc). Lajoie, critique mais également peintre, présente dans ces textes les enjeux de la scène artistique vus de l’intérieur, offrant ainsi un accès privilégié aux débats qui agitent ce milieu. Avec son style alerte et percutant, Lajoie soulève l’intérêt du lecteur contemporain souhaitant comprendre et saisir la dynamique qui a animé une génération d’artistes, d’amateurs et de curieux. Des textes inédits et cinq autres écrits complètent l’ensemble des publications que Lajoie a rédigé au cours de sa carrière. Dans la postface de cette édition, l’auteur livre un commentaire rétrospectif sur cet engagement qui a marqué sa vie.
