About This Item
Madeira Park, BC: Douglas & McIntyre. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2016. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 1771620099 . Only slight wear ; A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. Illustrated with colour photographs ; 6.25 X 1 X 9.75 inches; 288 pages; "As part of Operation Husky 2013, a group of Canadians walked this route to honour the memory of the nations soldiers who fought in Sicily seventy years earlier and whose sacrifice has been largely forgotten. Under a searing sun, with Mount Etnas soaring heights always in the distance, a small contingent of marchers trekked each day along winding country roads for between 15 and 35 kilometres to reach the outskirts of a small town or village. Here they were joined by a pipe band, which led them to the skirl of bagpipes in a parade into the communitys heart to be met by hundreds of cheering and applauding Sicilians. Before each communitys war memorial a service of remembrance for both the Canadian and Sicilian war dead followed." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
