The Human Touch

Rather than bore us with a lot of arcane techno-babble about cars, Bill Sherk cuts to the chase and tells very human stories about real people with real cars. Each page or two contains a little story about someone's experiences or adventures with a car, generally from the first half of the twentieth century. The monochrome photos come from people's albums, libraries, archves, and Sherk's vast collection of Canadiana. The context is family, farm, adolescence, small business, and local history. A delightful read, from a thoroughly-Canadian point of view.
