Canadian Almanac and Directory. 1847— . A. $39.00. Published by Copp Clark Pitman, 517 Wellington St. W., Toronto, Ontario M5V 1G1, Canada; available in the U.S. from Gale Research Co., Book Tower, Detroit, MI 48226. Editor: Susan Walters. LC CN75–32392. ISSN 0068–8193. ISBN 0–7730–4043–9 (Copp Clark Pitman); 0–8103–1186–0 (Gale). Now in its 134th year of publication, the Canadian Almanac and Directory offers a great deal of useful information in a compact form. This source embodies a straightforward, no‐nonsense attitude; the extended feature articles, news summaries, and lifestyle items that have become standard fare in American almanacs are conspicuously absent here.
