MacKay Smith has written and self-published six books and has overseen their distribution with help from his web site, infinitebooks.ca.
His book on Montreal’s Sherbrooke Street sold out its 3000 English and 1000 French copies and has been reprinted. His latest, Memories and Profiles of McGill University, had sold 2248 copies as of mid-May 2011. Both books are 9″x12″ hardcovers with 30,000 words and many historical and present-day photographs. Smith will describe the process of finding a theme, doing the research and selling books to corporations and Montreal bookstores.
