by Lani Russwurm and Bob Kronbauer
Arsenal Pulp Press | May 2014 | ISBN-10: 1551525259 | ePUB | 133 pages | 17.8 mb

Produced in conjunction with the website Vancouver Is Awesome, this book collects stories and photos about the people, places, events, and phenomena that collectively have infused Vancouver with a distinct flavor and flair and which laid the foundation for the eclectic city that is consistently named one of the worlds top tourist destinations. From vaudeville to beatniks, Rudyard Kipling to Hunter S. Thompson, violent squirrels to train-hopping dogs, Vancouver Was Awesome is an entertaining, informative, and at times jaw-dropping tour of one citys awesome past.
