DAVID GARDNER
Last spring, in the Volume 22: No.1 issue, I had the pleasure of presenting a Checklist of 248 books by and about Canadian performing artists.This is an addendum of approximately 98 more biographies or autobiographies, either published or discovered since last year (or still 'in the works' for eventual publication). Once again, I welcome corrections and/or additions at my email address: david.gardner@utoronto.ca.
Au printemps dernier, (volume 22, numéro 1), j'ai eu le plaisir de présenter une liste de 248 livres qui avaient été rédigés par des artistes de performance canadiens ou qui portaient sur des membres de cette discipline au Canada.

Encore une fois, je vous invite à me communiquer vos corrections et/ou vos ajouts à david.gardner@utoronto.ca.
