From the Police Association Museum and the Bank of Montreal to the Just for Laughs Museum, this user-friendly pocket guide showcases fascinating, little-known institutions throughout the City of Saints. Featuring listings by subject and neighborhood, the illustrated handbook reveals sites unknown to most Montrealers and visitors alike, with a focus on a diverse range of subjects, including ecology, humor, the military, recording and broadcasting, religion, and textiles. Boutiques and availability of food at each location are also noted.
