Utterly absorbing. . . until Raincoast Chronicles came along the fabulous west coast rum-runners and ghost logging camps went unrecalled save in the dimming memories of oldtimers.

The magazine is a thoroughly professional production in terms of design, layout and graphics, and the quality of the writing is just as impressive.
-Quill and Quire

Raincoast Chronicles reveals western identity. . . as dense as the undergrowth in the rainforest, and as richly alive.
