Chapters Canada - The Online Canadian Shopping Experience: Books, Video, DVD and much more

Chapters Inc. was formed following the merger of Coles and SmithBooks, then Canada's two largest bookstore chains. In 1994, Canadian General Capital and Pathfinder Capital purchased SmithBooks from Federal Industries, and later that year acquired Coles from Southam Inc. The strategy was to build a strong base company and use its financial strength to invest in the development of large format book superstores.

In April 1995, the merger of SmithBooks and Coles was finalized, and in November 1995, the new company, Chapters Inc. opened its first two book superstores and from there grew to become the largest book retailer in Canada, operating bookstores in all provinces, under the names Chapters, Coles, SmithBooks, and World's Biggest Bookstore.

(2001) Book ~ Bathroom Readers’ Institute From the Publisher A hilarious inside look at that unique species – the Canadian – covering subjects as diverse as diet, sex, dating rituals, sports, politics, social rules and our death-defying search for the middle of the road – any road. When Atwood suggested Will follow up his runaway best-seller Why I Hate Canadians with a "tongue-in-cheek guidebook for newcomers on how to be Canadian," Will thought it was a swell idea, and he quickly recruited his brother, comedy writer Ian Ferguson , creator and executive producer of the television series Sin City. Together, the Ferguson brothers have created the ultimate guide to Canadian cultural quirks. Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 11 1. Incredible Reviewer: Robin from Kelowna BC Date: 12/9/2002 11:04:18 PM Best part of the book, the comprehensive deffinition of eh? in all it's uses. 2. Funny funny funny Reviewer: Filip from Toronto (filip_stepien@hotmail.com) Date: 12/9/2002 8:32:57 PM This is a great book. However if you are a subway reader i do not recomend it as you will burst out into laughter and imbarass yourself... I know from experiance. You can't stop reading 3. Blah Reviewer: Cathy O'Connor from Etobicoke Date: 10/7/2002 12:39:10 PM Save your money. The writing is poor, and so is the so called humour. 4. Comical Geniuses Reviewer: Angie Roth from Pitt Meadows, BC Date: 9/14/2002 2:46:12 AM If you ever want to find the true meaning of being Canadian, and you're not too frightened by that truth, than this book is a must. If you just want a great laugh, it will serve that purpose too. The Ferguson brothers are masters at saying what most Canadians think. If you're secure with the no-harm sense of humour they present, you will truly be proud to call yourself Canadian after you read this. My favorite chapter...no#14. 5. I love this book! Reviewer: Cat Conner from Los Angeles (jazzclown@socal.rr.com) Date: 9/2/2002 6:08:56 PM Living in the US for 16 years, I miss all things Canadian. Just hearing Mike Myers talk about Toronto will get me going. Then a Canadian friend buys this for my sis and Wow there it all is in black and white. All those little nuances of Canadians and Canada that are so hilarious(and you know there is nothing funnier than a funny Canadian). The Ferguson brothers have done a delightful job of putting this book together. I love it. I have my own copy and now I'm buying one for my snow bird inlaws. Read all of the reviews...
