Review
"By far the largest of the collections at 420 pages, Fourth Five is living proof that some things just keep getting better. Containing 32 inimitable stories, poems and articles from issues sixteen to twenty, the volume expounds on such diverse matters as supernatural deer, the cannery village of Ceepeecee, fishing-fleet superstitions and the coveted recipe for donkey boiler coffee. Writers include coast favourites Howard White, Doreen Armitage, Tom Henry, Dick Hammond, Vickie Jensen and Bus Griffiths."
--Fisherman Life (Praise from Fisherman Life )
"Raincoast Chronicles Fourth Five allows the reader to feel the hardships and triumphs of BC men and women from the pioneer era to the modern day, and resonates with a tenacity of character and human spirit."
--Sharon Stuart, Midwest Book Review (Praise from Midwest Book Review )
"Fourth Five has just the right measure of irreverence that keeps local history moving. Subjects are deeply plumbed and present, with rare honesty, the several streams of our heritage... Addictive reading."
--Sara Cassidy, Focus
"This is another must-have for the libraries of anyone fascinated by the colourful and dramatic history of the BC Coast."
--Wavelength Magazine
"Invaluable as an entertaining and a readable historical resource."
--Cherie Theissen, Mariner Life
"Beautifully done."
--Annie Boulanger, Burnaby NOW
"A wonderfully rich and varied account... outstanding."
--Jocelyn Smith, BC Studies
Product Description
When the first edition of RAINCOAST CHRONICLES was produced by novice publishers in unlikely Pender Harbour in 1972, it announced that it was going "to put BC character on the record." The unclassifiable journal-cum-serial-book about Pacific Northwest coast life struck a nerve. Soon the term "Raincoast" was appearing on boats, puppet theatres, and interior decorating firms. By the time the fifth number was on the stands the first four were sold out, and the publishers had to deal with the continuing clamor for back issues. They decided to reissue the first five numbers of their rather eccentric paperback series in one bound volume. They gave it the enigmatic title RAINCOAST CHRONICLES FIRST FIVE. It became one of the most popular books ever published in BC. That set the pattern and every succeeding group of five single editions have been gathered and bound with the titles RAINCOAST CHRONICLES SIX/TEN, RAINCOAST CHRONICLES ELEVEN UP, and now RAINCOAST CHRONICLES FOURTH FIVE. Containing 32 inimitable stories, poems and articles from Issues 16 to 20, the volume explains supernatural deer, the cannery village of Ceepeecee, fishing-fleet superstitions, and the coveted recipe for donkey boiler coffee.
