In this particular best books from around the world post I have selected the best non-fiction books about Canada. This includes a selection of guide books but also humorous books about Canada too.
If you want to BE Canadian this list will certainly help you – though the constant marrying together of the words “weird” and “Canada” does make me wonder exactly what is going on in the land of maple syrup, mounties and ice hockey!
If after reading all that you still want to visit you will find a selection of great travel guides to assist you with planning your trip to Canada at the end of the post.
