'The first edition of the Vancouver Sun rolled off the presses on Feb. 12, 1912. Ever since, it has been chronicling not only the history of Vancouver and British Columbia, but the rapidly changing world around us. It's been said that a daily newspaper is the first draft of history. The Sun has published through the Great Depression and every world war, through the industrial age and the moon landing, through the golden age of Hollywood and the computer age of the IPad. Along the way, it has charted the explosive changes - geographic, demographic and social - right in our backyards. This book is a celebration of The Vancouver Sun's first 100 years. It tells the story of Vancouver and the world through the eyes of a newspaper. Decade by decade, it provides fascinating stories from the sinking of the Titanic (just two months after its first issue), through wars, riots, parades, Royal visits and the Olympic Games. While commemorating the events that brought Vancouver and BC together as a community, the book also offers insight into the news business throughout the ages and profiles some of their most noted staff, such as legendary writer Jack Wasserman and cartoonist Len Norris - documenting how news production has changed through time, moving from typewriters and wax paste ups to computers and tablets. Filled with stunning images shot by The Sun's award winning photographers, the book runs the gamut from classic front pages to decades-old advertisements. Most of all, it celebrates all that the newspaper has been, all that it is and all that it will continue to be as The Sun continues to offer all of us that first draft of history.' 183 pages. 9.25 x 12.25 inches.
