From lumber town to G-town and capital city to the Byward Market and Rideau Canal and the Beaver Tail to profiles of Colonel By Alanis Morissette, Michael Cowpland and the Stopwatch Gang, there is no book as comprehensive as the Ottawa Book of Everything. No book is more fun.

Well-known Ottawans give you their take on lesser-known aspects of Canada's capital city. Ben Mulroney tells his five things you didn't know about living at 24 Sussex Drive; Mike Duffy gives us the five best restaurants to overhear political gossip, filmmaker Lee Demarbre's five best places to shoot in Ottawa. From the coldest, the hottest and the iciest weather, Ottawa's third official language of bureaucratese, the most sensational crimes, the GG and the city's First People – it's all here!

If you love Ottawa, then you'll adore the Ottawa Book of Everything!
