Mika Publications of Belleville, Ontario -- long one of Ontario's leading historical publishers -- went out of business a few years ago.
Jay McKiee, then treasurer of the Norfolk Historical Society, purchased much of Mika's end-of-business inventory, and is offering the following publications for sale as long as supplies last. Any profits from these sales will be turned over to the NHC. So here's a great chance to help the NHC and yourself at the same time.
