Many of the small towns in Saskatchewan Book are slowly fading into memory, and this volume will serve as an archive for tourists and locals alike.

Reviews

What's amazing about these photographs is how much narrative and emotion are contained in the sparsest, most stripped-down of the found remnants of men and women who are not on site. The pictures do the work of poems and one of the briefest of poems at that, the haiku. -Lorna Crozier, author of The Book of Marvels and Small Beneath the Sky
