Hand Me Down World: The Canadian Pop-Rock Paradox

by Greg Potter

Greg Potter pulls no punches in his review of the Canadian rock scene. He casts a critical eye on the internationally famous, from Paul Anka to Celine Dion; he saves his praise for those who make it big but hang on to their identity and/or integrity.Hand Me Down World is a personal polemic, bristling with opinions and backed up by the facts. This wild ride will take you through five decades of Canadian music and leave you smarting but plenty wiser.

I quite Liked it. An excellent book. Apparently "scarce" according the the bookseller's pencilled mote by his book cost.
