Who was Lawrence Lande?
Lawrence M. Lande November 11, 1906 - 1998 was an author, bibliophile, bibliographer and collector of books and manuscripts.
He donated a book collection of early Canadiana to McGill University. Library and Archives Canada considered him one of he greatest collectors of Canadian books and manuscripts.
Lande devoted his life to collecting books and manuscripts, and to bestowing his collections upon favorite institutions. His habit as a collector was to gather material thematically, and then to catalog it in lavishly illustrated and bound volumes. Typically, the catalogues included a special section presenting important manuscript material transcribed and published for the first time. The books were printed in tiny editions, and distributed to friends, colleagues, and libraries.
