I have read that book and I can HIGHLY recommend it. A wonderful resource written by a thorough and honest researcher and author.

It's a great read and very informative.

I'll second the recommendation!

Great book documenting the mail-order homes erected by Eatons and Aladdin in Canada. Factual, informative, and generously illustrated with pictures from original catalogs and existing residences in Canada.

I just saw an original Aladdin catalogue (from Winnipeg I think) from 1922, go on eBay for something like $55. How does that sound; was that a fair price?

I've seen them go on eBay for more and I would certainly pay that for the 1920 catalogue which has my house in it. Last I checked was a 1919 for about $75 U.S.
