Volume Two, Just Watch Me (doesn’t that title make you smile?), covers 1968
to 2000. John English was given unprecedented and exclusive
access to Trudeau’s private letters and papers, perhaps to the chagrin of
… someone. (Her new autobiography
comes out next year.) Joining Mr. English will be Bob Bothwell, U of T Prof, whose no-holds barred approach to politics
and political books promises to spark a spirited discussion. Book sales and author signing courtesy of Furby House Books, refreshments courtesy of the Friends of
