- IMPORTANT FIGURE IN CANADIAN ARTS AND MEDIA: Brooker's writing on advertising influenced Marshall McLuhan, and his novel, Think of the Earth, was the first novel to win the Governor Generals award for fiction in 1936.
- LANDMARK PUBLICATION: This is the first comprehensive presentation of Brookers work in almost half a century, and will be the most complete treatment of his work to date.
- GROUP OF SEVEN CONNECTION: Brooker's art criticism helped give exposure to the Go7, whom he later exhibited with.
