*SIGNED* Illustrated life story JR SHAW Founded cable & mobile communications co

Description: Signed by CEO JR Shaw Illustrated history: Founding of Shaw Communications giant This weighty and illustrated history of one of Canada's fastest growing communications companies is in surprisingly excellent condition after nearly 20 years on the shelf. Above and Beyond: The JR Family History in Life and Business records the family history of the founder of Shaw Communications, one of the leading cable companies in Canada until its acquisition by Toronto-based Rogers Communications in 2023. It is signed and inscribed "To Dennis" by JP Shaw on a translucent vellum dedication page inserted at the beginning of the 490-page book. The handwritten salutation states: that follows may have been a preprint, as all the copies we have seen appear to be identical. The book traces the history of the Shaw family from their emigration in 1819 to the date of the book's publication in September 2004, and details the epic journey of the founder as he personally built one of the largest cable communications companies in Canada. This is an oversize book that measures 11 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches and weighs an impressive 9+ pounds. It has a robust binding with firm hinges, sharp corners, and clean edges. Inside, the highly illustrated book is unmarked, with no writing or inscriptions, no signs of previous ownership, no moisture marks or library markings. Textblock with 490 pages is clean and waiting for its first serious reader or researcher. The protective brightly colored dustjacket is like new, with no signs of wear or mistreatment. The book is also protected by a heavy duty fitted slipcase constructed of stiff board stock. Once again, this case is in excellent condition with no signs of wear or neglect. The case alone weighs more than a pound. The silver titles on the book's cover, spine and slipcase are all in crisp original condition with no fading or wear marks. Please see photos or email for more information.
