Mounties on the Cover

"Often with his close friend and fellow Mountie, Bill Hulgaard, Al criss-crossed Canada and the United States, scouring used bookstores, while stopping at Mountie memorials and historic points of interest, always keeping an eye out for new treasures. The age of the internet allowed him to target those areas of his collection that required completion. In total, he amassed a collection of over 9,000 individual items, a feat that will likely not be repeated. Believed to be the largest ever collectionof Mountie books, magazines and comics, it reflects a cultural history of the Force." The Quarterly, Fall 2017 D/Commr. Peter German (retd.), The Quarterly
