Princeton University Press Impermanent Blackness
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Eye-opening. . . . Garibaldi’s conclusions regarding the ‘challenges and opportunities that underpin commitments to building an inclusive American society’ are timely and penetrating. This is a vital look at a transformative era in American literature." * Publishers Weekly *"A compelling and readable account of how the relationship between emerging Black authors and their predominantly white-run publishing firms developed in the USA between the 1910s and the 1960s. . . . Impermanent Blackness provides a window on an important aspect of American literary history."---Terry Potter, Letterpress Project"Impermanent Blackness is a very interesting and insightful read about a key period in American literary culture and publishing."---Ilina Jha, Redbrick Culture"Garibaldi’s critical work traces the ups and downs of [the] interracial aesthetic from the beginning of the twentieth century to the 1960s. In the process, he adds another dimension to our understanding of the complex racial dynamics of this era. . . .Garibaldi does an excellent job of describing both the thick history and the wider conceptual stakes."---Paul Giles, Australian Book Review

Yale University Press The Book in the Renaissance
Book SynopsisThe dawn of print was a major turning point in the early modern world. This book reconstructs the first 150 years of the world of print, exploring the complex web of religious, economic and cultural concerns surrounding the printed word.Trade Review"'It is more fun than a book on bibliography has any right to be: as well as emphasising what a cut-throat, pragmatic and disreputable business the early modern book trade was, it's a salient reminder of how little we really know about the subject.' (Alec Ryie, Times Higher Education Supplement) 'This is a book of remarkable scholarship, rich in detailed evidence... It is a book worth reading right through and then keeping for reference.' (Revd Dr Raymond Chapman, Church Times) 'The great joy of The Book in the Renaissance is that it paints a vivid, often surprising portrait of the West's first ventures into the publishing industry... Pettegree writes with wit and fluency and he combines a broad, continent-girdling perspective with more focused analyses: a section on the role of print in the development of Lutheranism, for instance, is masterly. This book will make specialists prick up their ears but it also has huge appeal for the general reader.' (Jonathon Wright, Catholic Herald)"

PublicAffairs,U.S. Freak Kingdom: Hunter S. Thompson's Manic
Book SynopsisHunter S. Thompson is best remembered today as a caricature: drug-addled, sharp-witted, and passionate; played with bowlegged aplomb by Johnny Depp; memorialized as a Doonesbury character. In all this entertainment, the true figure of Thompson has unfortunately been forgotten.In this perceptive, dramatic book, Tim Denevi recounts the moment when Thompson found his calling. As the Kennedy assassination and the turmoil of the 60s paved the way for Richard Nixon, Thompson greeted him with two very powerful emotions: fear and loathing. In his fevered effort to take down what he saw as a rising dictator, Thompson made a kind of Faustian bargain, taking the drugs he needed to meet newspaper deadlines and pushing himself beyond his natural limits. For ten years, he cast aside his old ambitions, troubled his family, and likely hastened his own decline, along the way producing some of the best political writing in our history.This remarkable biography reclaims Hunter Thompson for the enigmatic true believer he was: not a punchline or a cartoon character, but a fierce, colorful opponent of fascism in a country that suddenly seemed all too willing to accept it.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Eve of a Hundred Midnights The StarCrossed Love
Book SynopsisTrade Review"An affectionate look at the adventures of a World War II correspondent. ... [A] vivid portrait." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "[An] engaging debut. ... Lascher succeeds in highlighting Jacoby's brief yet important life." -- Library Journal "A gripping... narrative of daring and dedication." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Propulsive. ... [A] remarkable book, which is part history, part a celebration of war correspondence, but, mostly, a love story. ... Lascher conveys the privation, danger, and romance of this time in an utterly detailed and beguiling way." -- Booklist (starred review) "A gripping, well told, and accurate reconstruction of a very dramatic and romantic time in the life stories of two young journalists caught in the upheavals of World War II Asia. A story of high adventure." -- Stephen R. MacKinnon, author of China Reporting: An Oral History of American Journalism in the 1930s and 1940s "I am deeply moved by the story of Mel and Annalee Jacoby. Bill Lascher provides a rich account of life in Chungking, where young Jacoby cut his teeth as a Time correspondent, before taking us into the whirlwind of MacArthur's retreat to Corregidor. It's a breathtaking story all the way." -- Peter Rand, author of China Hands "The unforgettable story of Bill Lascher's cousin, a man he meets through his own reporting to uncover a piece of family history that also belongs in the archives of America's great war correspondents. This is every bit a book about what drives reporters to the frontlines." -- Jackie Spinner, author of Tell Them I Didn't Cry "Bill Lascher charts the career of Melville Jacoby, his equally erudite wife Annalee, and their circle of committed, talented reporter-friends whose combined journalism evokes an era." -- Paul French, New York Times bestselling author of Midnight in Peking

Random House USA Inc Reading Jackie
Book SynopsisJacqueline Kennedy Onassis never wrote a memoir, but she told her life story and revealed herself in intimate ways through the nearly 100 books she brought into print as an editor at Viking and Doubleday during the last two decades of her life. Many Americans regarded Jackie as the paragon of grace, but few knew her as the woman sitting on her office floor laying out illustrations, or flying to California to persuade Michael Jackson to write his autobiography. William Kuhn provides a behind-the-scenes look at Jackie at work: commissioning books and nurturing authors, helping to shape stories that spoke to her. Based on archives and interviews with her authors, colleagues, and friends, Reading Jackie reveals the serious and the mischievous woman underneath the glamorous public image.

Ohio University Press Comic Shop The Retail Mavericks Who Gave Us a
Book SynopsisAward-winning business journalist Dan Gearino leads a tour through the world of comic shops, telling the story of the direct market from its 1970s origins to today. Includes profiles of forty notable shops in the U.S. and Canada, and a close look at The Laughing Ogre in Columbus.Trade Review“Gives a fascinating glimpse at the challenges and pressures that store owners have to face in this hybrid retail business.… [Gearino] makes the case that the modern pop culture era we’re living in wouldn’t exist without the rise of comic book stores.”“Dan Gearino offers a more compelling and complex place for the comic shop in popular culture by demonstrating how entrepreneurs and distribution channels have reshaped that commercial space over the last 50 years.…Gender issues feature heavily in the text, and this offers scholars…a point of consideration lacking from many other outlets.…Above all, this work personalizes the comic shop as a collection of people who, through emotion and personal desire, embrace an evolving and unstable place in the commercial world of pop culture.” * PopMatters *“[Gearino] has clearly done his homework.…Comic Shop is an essential read for anyone interested in the mechanics and money of the comic industry, but I was most amazed to learn that, beyond Carol Kalish, there was another woman behind the formation of the direct market. That’s not a story that’s often been told.” * Comics Worth Reading *“There are precious few prose books that have elucidated the quirkiness of the comics industry more than Comic Shop.…In clear and compelling language, Gearino lays out how comics specialty shops were born in the 1970s and ’80s, how they flew too close to the sun in the ’90s, and how they’ve managed to endure decades into the Information Age.”“This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand comics in the U.S. Dan Gearino has put together a riveting account of the history of the comics market, and even reveals the forgotten key women who were essential to its creation. Comic Shop is a fascinating page turner.”“If the foundation of America’s castle on a hill consists of how we buy and sell things, Dan Gearino shows us what’s in the basement.”“Gearino pulls back the curtain on the seldom-seen end of the business encompassing sales, distribution and retail.… Drawing from original documents and firsthand interviews with key participants, [he] gives the retail and distribution side of the industry an account as dramatic and lively as Sean Howe did for the creative side in his 2012 book on Marvel Comics.… The result is a readable, well-researched account that fills a gap in existing comics literature and provides a great reference for future work.” * ICv2 *“Gearino…effortlessly navigates the byzantine business lore of comic-distribution companies.…The author still takes delicate care with their stories, weaving tales of complex heroes and villains with stories directly from the people who lived through the uncertainty and chaos in the industry.…It is spectacular how often Gearino makes these small stories of heartbreak and triumph feel herculean in scope.…Comic Shop lives in the beautiful struggle to survive and exist.” * Columbus Dispatch *“The fickle, frustrating and sometimes joyful travails of owning a comic book store are detailed in a new book by native Iowan Dan Gearino. [Comic Shop] traces the history of selling comic books from their inception on newsstands in grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations to the rise of specialty stores.” * Des Moines Register *“Dan Gearino captures the genie in the bottle. He’s gathered together the players and the circumstances to reveal how a generation of entrepreneurs saved an entire industry and changed the very way people discover, buy, read, collect, and even think about comic books.”
