We chose three books for Honourable Mention. The first of these is ReCalling Early Canada. It was refreshing to come across this book, because it is okay. However, the title page is disappointing; the illustrations are predominately historical photographs, and therefore one accepts a low and inconsistent level of quality. The designer has done what could be done with such poor illustrative materials. The text spread is good, and legible; the type itself well-set, and well printed on the page.

The cover is a grave disappointment, but the text pages are well set, well designed, the margins ample; all of these things are quite unusual in a sports book. The chapter openings, with hockey pucks carrying the chapter numbers, are quite successful, but the title page is not.

This, we think, is the best of the three books we chose for Honourable Mention in this category. Pleasant to read, the paper has a decent colour. The introductory material is quietly competent and understated, has a reasonable title page, and the mixture of serif and sans serif types is handled well. The script type employed for visuals at the beginnings of chapters is not so successful.
