These images display McClelland and Stewart Inc. working with Heath Macquarrie on publishing a book about the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. Heath Macquarrie was the leader of this party and hoped that if he could publish a book about his party, his party would gain more reputation. However, the manuscript was delayed, due to an unfortunate accident. However, McClelland was willing to support Macquarrie with additional help, and personally read the manuscript and gave his own personal feedback on the piece. 

These images display the starting stages of the Co-operative Book Centre and its formation in Canada as well as the decision making that needed to be established for the company. The goal of the Co-operative Book Centre was to provide the ability to Canadian authors and publishers, as well as the General Canadian public, the ability to publish their books on a large scale in Canada, while making these books available to all Canadians. The Co-operative Book Centre would do this by asking libraires to purchase from them and slowly make a network that would span Canada. 

These images display the problem of copyright that appeared between Canada and America, that caused Canadian writers to lose their protection of copyright if their book was sold in the United States. This copyright problem was due to the adoption of different copyright conventions at that time. While Canada was a part of the Berne Convention, America was a part of the Universal Copyright Convention. This problem of copyright, however, was quickly resolved with negotiations between the two nations, which eventually allowed Canadian writers work to be protected in the United States.
