Rating: 5
Summary: Quick, delightful read.
Comment: Though this book is rather short on length, it does an excellent job of portraying an excellent city. Writing about one aspect of any city for each letter of the alphabet is a daunting task for anyone, and Coupland pulls it off with aplomb.
Rating: 4
Summary: May as well buy a ticket now...
Comment: This book will leave you aching for Vancouver, whether you've been there before or not. I have, but never lived it the way Coupland has. This is more than a travel book; it'll take you into the underside, and the overside, and every side Vancouver has.
Vancouver is lushly fertile and starkly commercial, historical and modern; Vancouver is Every City, with an emergent personality all its own. Until you can get there to see it yourself, buy this book, keep it on your coffee table, and dive with Coupland into his own bizarre Vancouver dreams.

Summary: a personal vancouver alphabet
Comment: This book presents a charming, personal view of the city of Vancouver, BC, by an author both at home in and in love with his city. It is organized as an alphabet book, but this is just an excuse. Vancouver is a major city on the edge of one of the last great frontiers. It joins the Canadian wilderness and the Pacific Rim. It is a peculiar city of what we in the USA call the "Northwest', both cosmopolitan and local. I've read the book several times, both in Vancouver and at home, and I've enjoyed sharing with the author each time.
