I am hooked on this show and this book tells you how the show works. It explores the history and lore and why ten million people tune in every week. It turns out it is an extraordinary undertaking to put on this show. This book is so worth reading.- Faith from the Faith Middleton Show
Read Me: A Century of Classic American Book Advertisements
By Dwight Garner
Our Shelf Talker
New York Times book critic Dwight Garner brings together original ads for some of the most acclaimed and bestselling books of the twentieth century, including The Great Gatsby, On the Road, Invisible Man, Lolita, Silent Spring, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, and dozens of other classics in Read Me. These ads show us famous books when they were simply new volumes jostling for attention on bookstore shelves, not yet icons of our literary culture. This is a fascinating look at our cultural history from many different perspectives - booklover, graphic designer, advertiser, history lover - very intriguing.- Roxanne

Vanity Fair's Presidential Profiles: Defining Portraits, Deeds, and Misdeeds of 43 Notable Americans--And What Each One Really Thought about His Prede
Our Shelf Talker
This book is an example of a "short" book as opposed to a "dumb" book. By that I mean there are books providing information for busy people and they offer small bits of facts, etc. and they can be small and fun or just dumb. This book takes one page for each president and provides some interesting facts, including what each thought of their predecessor. Fun for kids and adults and not dumb.- Roxanne
