Meier, Jr. "By choosing to specialize, and collect the winners of the governor General's Literary Award for Fiction, their first edition variants, proofs, and related documents, John H. Meier, Jr. has succeeded in amassing a collection of national significance, unmatched in depth and completeness even by Canada's national library collection. It is with pride and pleasure that we at the University of Alberta Libraries are the first to play host to this remarkable exhibition of Canada's literary heritage."
