The other day I was at Coles book store in the Pen Centre where I was browsing the Canadiana books (there were lots of them because of the Canada 150 celebration). One that caught my eye was 25 Places in Canada Every Family Should See by Jody Robbins. As expected, there was a Niagara Falls…
When I was at Value Village the other day, I also found the Fodor’s Great American Vacations: 25 Affordable Trips to the USA’s Best-Loved Destinations book. It has 13 pages of information about Niagara Falls (page 226 to 238).
A couple of weeks ago my wife and I went to Value Village in Niagara Falls. I looked in the book section, and found this old book called Story of Canada. There was one small reference to Niagara Falls. Apparently some of the Fathers of Confederation went to Niagara Falls after working out the details…
The other day I was in Costco and saw a book called DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Canada. It was a very nice book with lots of information and colourful photos. It also included a section on Niagara Falls

Whenever I go into a second-hand store like Goodwill or Value Village, I check out the book section to see if there are any books that mention Niagara Falls. There is a place called Renewed Thrift & Vintage in Welland, Ontario that I was in recently. There were several older books that I thought I would…
From Niagara at Large: Few jounalists I know have captured the power, the drama the beauty and theatrics in and around one of the world’s most scenic wonders – the Great Falls of Niagara – with as much passion and insight as Michael Clarkson. So it makes all the sense in the world that Michael…
At another store, I recently saw this book called Visions of Canada. It is a collection of stories and essays about different parts of Canada. The section about Niagara Falls is from novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne‘s visit in 1832 (but not published until 1835). Oh, that I had never heard of Niagara till I beheld it!…
