Informazioni sul libro
This is no ordinary book. It is a veritable treasure chest of ephemera passed down from the last cooper of the BC Distillery in New Westminster, British Columbia, Harold Mackay. Combined with as much related material that could be mustered during a global pandemic, this book provides a concise history of the BC Distillery from a blue collar perspective. This is certainly no blue blooded biography of a billionaire whisky baron. It’s the story of the rise and fall of a local industry held with high hopes for the community amidst an ever evolving landscape.
Note this book is a condensed 100 page version of the larger companion edition, The Last Cooper, which is 350+ pages. Everything that appears in this book, The BC Distillery also appears in The Last Cooper.
