It was published in 1984 but is currently out of print. You can see it on Amazon but the price is outrageous. Sometimes the Powell River Historical Museum gets old books that they sell. We got a copy of Pulp, Paper and People that way. They will take your name on a waiting list if a book becomes available. There are also references to Powell Lake in a 1998 book by Bill Thompson called Once Upon a Stump. This one can still be purchased at the Museum across from Willingdon Beach. Two places you can check for Powell River books are the Library http://www.powellriverlibrary.ca/ and the Museum http://www.powellrivermuseum.ca/Local%20Books.html. Coles Books in the Mall and Breakwater Books on Alberni are also excellent bookstores for local books. -- MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-12926682728770081082007-12-27T09:32:00.000-08:002007-12-27T09:32:00.000-08:00Speaking of books about Powell Lake, have you read...Speaking of books about Powell Lake, have you read "The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity" by Mark Vonnegut? <BR/><BR/>It's a story that details 2 years of his life: from college graduation to a psychiatric hospital in Vancouver. <BR/><BR/>During those years he lived in a commune near Fiddlehead Farm (i think). <BR/><BR/>I bought a copy for my sister and she said it was only alright.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else know of any books about Powell Lake?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
