  The Canadian Encyclopedia
It reads "New Canadian Encyclopedia Publishing." It is the only outward indication that this rather commonplace North Garneau house, no longer a residence, is at the centre of the largest publishing project ever undertaken in Canada, an enterprise described by James Adams writing in the daily Edmonton journal as "the literary-reference equivalent of the CPR."
The encyclopedia is laid out in large format 8 1/2 by 11 inch pages, and each volume will have a binding that is heavily reinforced and is so designed that it will stay flat when open.
Another novelty associated with the encyclopedia is the fact that, utilizing the resources of the University of Alberta, it will be the first Canadian encyclopedia to use advanced computer technology.
