Rough and Ready Times: The History of Port Mellon by Ellen Frith with Peter Trower, Glassford Press, 1993.  This history of BC's longest-established pulp mill at Port Mellon, on Howe Sound, is both a tale of enterprise and of adventure. The lives and exploits of the people who gained a livelihood there, amid the malodorous rumblings and regurgitations of the industry's pioneer efforts, weave a story that details and defines the spirit of camaraderie as well as those feelings of affinity that are essential to the development of any community.
