While We Wait for Home Delivery to End: A Novel about the Postman's Raound.

Here's a delightful book that should be read while we wait for Canada post to cut out home delivery.  (In case you missed, the Crown Corporation has just announcd that it will be doing away with home mail delivery over the next five years.) 

While opposition organizes to this really stupid idea: take a look at  Quebec writer Denis Thériault's short novel  The Postman's Rounds.  It takes place a few years ago when the postman actually delivered the mail and was a part of everyone's life. 

And another Canada Post-book connection.  withdrawn its permanent stamps, of course, because they want to boost the price of letter mail.

I went looking for stamps featuring Marie-Louise Gay's children's books for our Christmas mailings to discover that there were none.
