Synopsis

Cigar Box Lithographs Vol. 5 is a collection of stories from Canada's past, which the author tells
past using century-old cigar box lithographs as his guideposts. His collection of books, of which
this is fifth in a series, pay homage to the heritage and culture of this country that have been
largely neglected in today's fast-paced, technology-driven society.
Similar to its precursors, in Volume V readers are once again treated to Humber's chatty, erudite writing style; reading it no doubt makes Cigar Box Lithographs fans feel like they're sitting down with a treasured friend enjoying a long and fascinating conversation.
