I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

In 1957, Richard Nixon secretly ventured to Prince Edward County for a "boys weekend" of fishing, golfing, and politics. @spaikin.bsky.social catches up with author @tomharri.bsky.social to discuss his book "Searching for Richard Nixon," which documents the trip.

In my book #SearchingforRichardNixon I highlight all the gifts a small town Canadian Mayor sent Richard Nixon, making him 2nd most prolific gift giver in world to American President, but most was of food, cheddar cheese, Crown Royal Rye Whiskey, & annual Christmas card #cdnhist #nixon #presidents

In toast in 1972 during state visit #cdnpoli Nixon congratulated Pierre Trudeau on birth of his 1st son, described as "next PM of Canada" accurately predicting Justin's 2016 election, seen as baby below, with mother, held by Pat Nixon #cdnpoli #onthisday #SearchingforRichardNixon

Richard Nixon arrived 1972 in Ottawa #onthisday He didn't know it but he landed on runway paved by friend, Picton's Mayor, Harvey Mcfarland #pec Nixon spent next 36 hrs, enjoying chilly Ottawa spring, where not even tulips had bloomed, meeting PM Pierre Trudeau #cdnhist #cdnpoli
