Anne Crossman's Commonplace Book
Since 2020, retired journalist and broadcaster Anne Crossman has been writing a weekly column for the Annapolis Valley Register. No event is too small, and no person too humble, to escape her affectionate attention...and no politician, corporation or Canadian icon is so high as to avoid a well-merited jab from her pen.

reviewer comments
At last, a long-desired collection of the weekly columns of the erudite Anne Crossman. With a very evident talent to connect readers to a melding of international, Canadian and local municipal matters, she has succeeded, with enjoyable style, in educating us in a most informative manner. Long may she continue.

Annapolis County, Nova Scotia
Leafing through Anne Crossman’s book has brought back fond memories...Her observations on politics range from thoughtful to downright entertaining as she explores the human condition. From the Great North to Luxembourg, Anne’s book comes to life through a series of lived experiences from the perspective of someone who has travelled to and lived in many places. She provides an unfiltered glimpse into the mind of a thoroughly Canadian woman.
