What a treat! Who knew our humble licence plates were once made of leather--even porcelin? Who knew that a handful of letters and digits could tell so many stories? From WE-LOG to MY-XTC--a century's worth of wacky licence plates from Canada's wackiest province. --Arthur Black, author and broadcaster

The book is full of interesting stories and facts . . . a wonderful gift for any vehicle enthusiast. . . . I don't want to give away all of the incredible research that has gone into this fascinating book, so I suggest you buy a copy. I couldn't put it down until I finished it from cover to cover. --Nigel Matthews, the Province
