In Second-Hand Firsthand: Life Lessons on Wheeling & Dealing (self-published $15), Victor Labonte-Smith, a man who’s worked 54 different jobs, shares more than just business tips. Through humourous reflection and street-smart advice, he delivers a survival guide for both trade and life. Labonte-Smith reminds us that in exchange for the ease of an online click-to-cart lifestyle, we miss out on the opportunity to meet real people at bricks and mortar venues like vintage stores and learn from those who’ve lived through past eras. His stories aren’t just about objects, but the people and history attached to them. With humour, Labonte-Smith passes on a disappearing way of life. Whether you’re into second-hand finds or life lessons, this book delivers both. 9798319049100
