book-free-tradeDescription:
Nineteen-eighty-eight. The Canada-U.S. free trade agreement signed January 2 by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and President Ronald Reagan kicks, off one of the most passionate and bitter national debates in Canadian history, culminating in a pivotal general election in November. In Free Trade, Free Canada, 24 notable Canadians - ranging from former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed to novelist Mordecai Richler, economist Richard Lipsey to artist Christopher Pratt - expound the arguments for free trade. My lead article reviews 140 years of Canadian-American trade fights—involving politicians and plutocrats, smugglers and spiesthat preceded implementation of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement.

Out of Print, but Not Out of Luck

The sad reality is that almost all published books are "out-of-print" within two years of publication.

But there are great digital networks linking thousands of used book dealers across Canada, the United States, and Britain. You can purchase used copies of my out-of-print books, or almost any out-of-print books, from any of these services.

I generally use Advanced Book Exchange, a Canadian firm based in Victoria, to buy used books. Visit www.abebooks.com. Two other services are www.bookfinder.com and www.albris.com.
