How to speak French like a Quebecker – Le québécois en 10 leçons

Get a true taste of French, as spoken by Quebecers

If you've been to Québec, it's good for a laugh!
Audio files, transcriptions and explanations (includes a link to chapter one of the book for previewing):

"Alexandre Coutu is a polyglot, translator, language coach, course designer and occasional interpreter. He just published a course on spoken Québec French called "Le québécois en 10 leçons". Today he'll share some of the most prominent features of the dialect, and we've included audio samples so you can get a true taste for the how it truly sounds, as spoken by Quebecers!"

French online Bookstore

I have used the Renaud Bray site in the past, both for ordering, and for "researching" titles that I've then requested via ULS. It's a good place to find out what's popular for certain ages ranges in a North American market (ie Québec.) BTW, they have free shipping if it's over $39.
