Since the book is being sold on commission by Words Worth Books, they don't have it in their online system which is managed by a third party.
Bill Thomson sounds like the kind of person who it would be interesting to have a cup of coffee with. There are quite a few bits where I wish he'd added more detail about some of the discussions. If you wondered about oddly places street fragments, this book sheds some light on where they came from. I didn't realize, for instance, that the current WRDSB office on Ardelt used to be a shoe factory, that one of the initial dreams that was around in the early 1950s was to build a convention centre in the area, or that as part of the downtown Kitchener upgrades, that a King Street underpass was proposed and rejected.
