This unique exchange of letters between literary icon Sinclair Ross and Several Prominent Writers, publishers, agents, and editors asks why many Canadian artists, especially those in western provinces, spent a lifetime struggling for recognition and remuneration.
Collecting Stamps features exchanges with many of Canada's leading writers and publishers. In their letters, the correspon-dents expose the conditions of cultural work in Canada for much of the twentieth century. This vivid, often moving, Selection of Profes-sional and personal letters, plus the only formal interview Ross ever gave, provides a valuable resource for those engaged with the history of publishing in Canada, as well as for those with an interest in Canadian literature.
