With its spectacular setting between sea, mountains and sky, Vancouver is one of the world's most beautiful and liveable cities.

This showy keepsake book collects images of Vancouver's highlights, celebrating Nitobe Gardens, UBC, the downtown area, and beaches, parks and markets all along the city's encircling seawall.

Beautiful photos that will entice you to Vancouver

This book does exactly what it was intended to do; it draws you to visit the city of Vancouver in British Columbia. The color photos are beautiful and depict idyllic scenes of cleanliness, activity and industry. For years I have had a desire to visit the west coast of Canada and this book has strengthened it.
