[BCMA] A recommended B.C. book publisher

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I recommend Generation Printers of Vancouver for 
a good quality, self-published book.  In 2011 
this firm did an admirable job of meeting our 
specifications for printing 500 copies of a 
history of Vancouver's Bessborough Armoury, which 
combined line drawings with coloured and black 
and white illustrations.  The result was an 
attractive 125-page book on good stock paper 
produced for less than $20 per copy (which 
included the cost of a graphics artist who 
planned the layout).  Using a local printer also 
saved us delivery costs and it was easy to go to 
the printer's offices to do the final proof reading for corrections.
