"There is something renegade about having a mailing address that is simply (your name), General Delivery, Whistler, B.C., V0N 1B0," writes Ian Verchère. “No fixed address; that has such an outlaw vibe to it. The most carefree time in my life was when I had a General Delivery mailing address; not exactly Jesse James material, but we all rebel against The Man in our own way. I chose V0N 1B0 as the title of the book for that reason. I wanted to give people something different, so they could feel like they knew something more about Whistler, things you can only know if you’ve lived and worked here.”

In fifty witty, insightful chapters, Ian Verchère does to Whistler what his friend and collaborator Douglas Coupland did to Vancouver in City of Glass. He takes us behind the curtain of hype as only an insider can to reveal what makes B.C.’s only designated Resort Municipality tick.
