Frankly we think Nevil Shute wanted to “get it off his_,chest” when he wrote this book and as a result opens many channels of conjecture as to what our lot will be in 1983. We can recommend it as worthwhile reading, as are all Shute books. McAree takes us back to the early retailing days of the com.- munity and his life as a grocery clerk. It's an Interesting little book written pretty much like an extended McAree column. If you like his daily efforts you will en- joy his first book.

We found difficulty in making a choice this week because there are so many we wanted to read. One in particular is In the Wet by Nevil Shute who has written fifteen books in all an dthere are seven of them in our Library. Have you ever met J. V.

Whichever acquaintance you have with him, more than likely you will like his newly published book, Cabbagetown Store. If you have lived in or around Toronto for a number of years you will find Cabbagetown Store nostalgic and entertaining deal- ing as it does- with a downtown area of the city lying south of Gerrard Street and East from Parliament to the Don.
