I don't think Brandon did a book or anything to commemorate their 125th anniversary. The October issue of Manitoba History (published by the Manitoba Historical Society) is all about Brandon !  
 
I am not sure where you'd find this in Brandon - it's not exactly a Coles sort of title. I'd suggest the BU Bookstore or maybe Pennywise Books downtown as they do orders.  
 
Even if you're NOT big into history you should pick one up. It's the sort of thing you can browse back to years down the road or keep for your kids !
