T-12: Book ‘Em: Comparing The Leaders’ Books #elxn42 #canpoli

Federal Canadian Leader's Books

A couple posts ago, I included an excerpt from Thomas Mulcair’s autobiography.  As a librarian who previously spent nearly a decade in the Canadian book industry, that made me think it might be fun to compare and contrast some of the details of each leader’s book (full disclosure – I’ve only read Mulcair’s…so far.)
