Alberta Bestsellers: June 2021
Topping the Alberta bestseller list for the third time in a row this June 2021 is the gorgeous Mother Earth: Plants for Health & Beauty, published by the Indigenous-owned publisher Eschia Books. (We spoke with Dianne Meilli, the publisher at Eschia, all about the making of this book and its success earlier this month). And it’s followed close behind by the special edition of We Remember the Coming of the White Man (Durvile Publications). Plus, June’s bestseller list features more phenomenal Alberta-published books, including non-fiction and fiction from Freehand Books and Stonehouse Publishing.
