This popular local history book by Shirleyan English and Bonnie Sitteris available for purchase here or can be picked up in the shop. 

This book looks into the little-known story of young women who left their homes to work on farms during the Second World War to address the labour shortage from the war.

We have three floors of books, maps, prints, paper collectibles, such as ephemera and postcards, and eccentric antiques that appeal to readers, scholars and seasoned collectors alike. The atmosphere is spacious, bright and relaxed, not to mention architecturally beautiful, with its original tin ceilings, hardwood maple floors and all the charisma of a century building. This, along with the help of our friendly and knowledgeable staff, will ensure that every visit to Attic Books will be memorable.
