The Creative City of Saint John
This book presents a wide-ranging portrayal of the creative work done in Saint John in the hundred years following Confederation. Beautiful watercolour and oil paintings, early fossil discoveries, successful bestselling authors and other examples of the creative city are brought together in this volume. Among the many surprising and interesting accounts: the contribution to Maritime natural history made by a butterfly found in the city, the role of the city's Great Fire in generating a host of visual artists documenting the urban landscape, and the little-known Hollywood connection that made the city a hotbed of film production — in the early 1900s.

William Forrestall
William Forrestall offers some of the most interesting, painterly work in contemporary Canadian art. His growing body of unique, enigmatic still life paintings has been characterized as existing in a land between complete abstraction and realistic likeness, of being simultaneously real and unreal, of forging a link between this world and the next. This new book examines William Forrestall's artistic development, from his first solo exhibition in 1986 to his most recent painting of 2009, offering the first comprehensive survey of his work. Featuring more than 40 images, including 28 colour reproductions of his egg tempera paintings, "William Forrestal: Paintings Drawings," published to coincide with a retrospective exhibition at the New Brunswick Museum, confirms Forrestall's growing reputation in Canada and abroad.
Fashion
Controversial and unconventional, this collection examines Canadian identity in terms of the fashion worn and designed over the last three centuries, and the internal and external influences of those socio-cultural decisions.
