Governor General of Canada
Only three former Canadian Governors General have left a written testament about their lives in the form of an autobiography. John Buchan wrote Memory Hold-the-Door, the first autobiographical account, during his time in Rideau Hall and he published Memory in 1940. In 1948 Vincent Massey wrote the first volume of his autobiography, On Being Canadian, and then the second, What's Past is Prologue: the Memoirs of the Right Honourable Vincent. Shortly after leaving Rideau Hall Adrienne Clarkson signed a two book deal with Penguin Canada, the first of which was an autobiography titled Heart Matters.

Spelling
According to the Canadian government the title "Governor General" is not hyphenated, even though a hyphen is used in other Commonwealth realms. Many other media organizations in Canada ignore this rule, however, and use the more conventional "governor-general" spelling. As "governor" is the main noun in the title, it is the term that is pluralized. Moreover, both terms are often capitalized, particularly when preceding an incumbent's name, but sometimes they are not (e.g., Canadian governors general).
