Last night I met Ron Lafreniere, author of the Canadian Cinderellas
Catalogue. It`s been out a few years and only had 300 copies
printed, of which he has 3 left - and I think I want one of them!
What a beautiful publication it is! It`s a couple of hundred pages on
glossy paper with full colour illustrations (except for a couple of
black and white ones where the colour ones were not available to
him. He has documented all his research and has been meticulous
with his details. He is working on a second edition now, and showed
me how he is updating entries as he finds new specimens, details,
etc. It is due out in about a year.
His information goes back to the early 20th century and is beautifully
classified into such areas as wartime propaganda, advertising,
political, etc. He has his own catalogue number system (CC-number)
(for Canadian Cinderellas).
One entry that particularly interested me concerned my single stamp
issued by the St. Jean Baptiste Society of Quebec. He must have
70-80 different ones pictured and described! For most entries, however,
he has 1-6 photos. The first edition is $40.00.
