Paperback. Condition: Fair. First Edition. 221 pages. Illegitimus non Carborundum (don't let the b******ds wear you down.) - Bill White. Average wear. One inch tear to bottom edge of back cover. Peeled area from front cover where sticker removed. Contents square and unmarked. "White's stories of the 'bad old days' of B.C. Labour… will fascinate anyone interested in the largely unwritten history of this country. For those concerned with the current state of human and labour rights in B.C., Bill White's call for a return to the kind of gloves-off fighting that marked his heyday will seem appropriate and useful." - from back cover.
