Canada’s History magazine (formally The Beaver) is having another record-breaking year at the newsstand in 2015!

“We ended the 2014 year with two record breaking issues, for both our Oct/Nov 2014 (The World Wars) issue and the Dec/Jan 2015 issue (Last Spike). The momentum has carried over into 2015, with three more record-breaking covers in 2015,” says Melony Ward, publisher.

“Interestingly, all three record breakers this year feature illustrated covers,” says consultant Scott Bullock. A tip of the cap to editor Mark Reid, art director James Gillespie, Ron Sellwood and the CTC team.
