DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe ostensible purpose of a library is to preserve the printed word. But for fifty years our country’s libraries–including the Library of Congress–have been doing just the opposite, destroying hundreds of thousands of historic newspapers and replacing them with microfilm copies that are difficult to read, lack all the color and quality of the original paper and illustrations, and deteriorate with age. With meticulous detective work and Baker’s well-known explanatory power, Double Fold reveals a secret history of microfilm lobbyists, former CIA agents, and warehouses where priceless archives are destroyed with a machine called a guillotine. Baker argues passionately for preservation, even cashing in his own retirement account to save one important archive–all twenty tons of it. Written the brilliant narrative style that Nicholson Baker fans have come to expect, Double Fold is a persuasive and often devastating book that may turn out to be The Jungle of the American library system.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen stars would "take it off" in old Hollywood movies, they were still dressed! This paper doll collection is a fun way to look at the various states of "undressed" in some of our favorite classic films. Four glamorous models (three ladies and a handsome gentleman) are ready to cut-out and UNdress-up in corsets, pajamas, negligees, nightgowns, robes, slips, swimwear and even a union suit. Included are iconic costumes worn by Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow, Sophia Loren, Barbra Streisand and even Tom Cruise. There are 45 fashion items in all! A witty essay by artist and fashion historian David Wolfe explains how even undressed, Hollywood is a fun fashion fantasy, perfect inspiration for paper dolls!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA sumptuously illustrated adaptation casts the powerful imagery of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s great American novel in a vivid new format. From the green light across the bay to the billboard with spectacled eyes, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 American masterpiece roars to life in K. Woodman-Maynard’s exquisite graphic novel—among the first adaptations of the book in this genre. Painted in lush watercolors, the inventive interpretation emphasizes both the extravagance and mystery of the characters, as well as the fluidity of Nick Carraway’s unreliable narration. Excerpts from the original text wend through the illustrations, and imagery and metaphors are taken to literal, and often whimsical, extremes, such as when a beautiful partygoer blooms into an orchid and Daisy Buchanan pushes Gatsby across the sky on a cloud. This faithful yet modern adaptation will appeal to fans with deep knowledge of the classic, while the graphic novel format makes it an ideal teaching tool to engage students. With its timeless critique of class, power, and obsession, The Great Gatsby Graphic Novel captures the energy of an era and the enduring resonance of one of the world’s most beloved books.
