An illustrated study of the historical printings that depict Abraham Lincoln's life and legacy.

Abraham Lincoln: His Life in Print provides an indispensable overview of the rarely seen books and ephemera from the nineteenth century that made Lincoln a central historical figure. Written for anyone interested in America's political, publishing, and cultural past, this catalogue presents the world of Lincoln through printed materials that reveal how he rose to prominence, oversaw the nation's victory in the Civil War, and ended slavery. No person in the last 160 years has been written about more than Lincoln, but before the biographies, there were books, pamphlets, documents, handbills, and periodicals that influenced, informed, or invented Lincoln in his frontier youth, the political maelstroms of the 1850s and early 1860s, the White House, and upon his death.

Lincoln used print throughout his life to improve his standing and communicate his ideas and policies. His election as president benefited from campaign literature that mythologized his Western origins. By studying law books, he became an attorney and overcame his poverty and lack of education. To dismantle the institution of slavery, he issued a series of public statements and executive orders which culminated in the Emancipation Proclamation. His finest speeches, such as the Gettysburg Address, gained renown only after they were widely read.

The over 300 historical printings covered here are from the Americana collection of philanthropist David M. Rubenstein, who has written the preface. Mr. Rubenstein is also the New York Times bestselling author of five books, including The Highest Calling: Conversations on the American Presidency (2024) and The American Story: Conversations with Master Historians (2019). He is joined by twelve leading writers and historians of Lincoln, each of whom has contributed an essay on an aspect of the sixteenth president's life and legacy, which will bring readers up to date on current trends in understanding Lincoln. Attractively designed and sumptuously photographed, Abraham Lincoln: His Life in Print assembles the print evidence for Lincoln's greatness and humanity.

Members of the church are often at a loss to know which books they should get, which books they should read, and even which books are even available that would help them grow in their Christian journey.

Whether you want to know about Exodus or Apologetics, Church History or Church Growth, Commentaries or Dictionaries -- this book has it covered for you.

The history of the law is known above all through its literature, an extraordinarily diverse body of texts in an equally diverse variety of formats. Histories of Legal Literature maps the past hundred years of English-language scholarship with a bibliography of 998 publications on the origins, authorship, dissemination, design, readership, and preservation of the works that shaped the law books of today, including the vast legal literatures from outside the Anglo-American world. With the help of a detailed subject index and statistical analysis, Widener and Greenwood reveal the strengths and gaps in this body of scholarship and point to opportunities for new contributions. Histories of Legal Literature will be a useful reference for legal historians, book historians, librarians, and those working in allied fields.

Indexing A-Z from The Chicago Manual of Style--the undisputed authority for style, usage, and grammar.

In this age of searchable text, the need for an index made with human input is sometimes questioned. But a good index can do what a plain search cannot: It gathers all the substantive terms and subjects of the work, sorts them alphabetically, provides cross-references to and from related terms, and includes specific page numbers or other locators or, for electronic formats, direct links to the text. This painstaking intellectual labor serves readers of any longer work, whether it is searchable or not. For searchable texts, an index provides insurance against fruitless queries and unintended results. In a word, a good index makes the text more accessible.
​
Most book indexes must be assembled swiftly between the time page proofs are issued and the time they are returned to the typesetter--usually about four weeks. An author preparing their own index will have to proofread as well as index the work in that short time span.

This insightful chapter-length booklet will guide both professionals and first-time indexers in assembling an index that will do justice to both the book and the reader.

It is generally a good idea to return to the classics in any genre. This also goes for UFO literature. Rereading a book after ten or twenty years is a rewarding experience. You will discover new data and ideas you didn t notice before. The reason, of course, is that you are, in many ways, not the same person reading the book the second or third time. Hopefully you have advanced in knowledge, experience, intellectual and spiritual discernment. A good starting point is to reread the contactee classics of the 1950s,60s & 70s in order to understand the deeper mystery involved in what happened during that era. John Alva Keel, born Alva John Kiehle (March 25, 1930 - July 3, 2009) was an American journalist, Fortean researcher, and influential UFOlogist who is best known as author of The Mothman Prophecies. In 1967, Keel popularized the term men In black in an article for the men's adventure magazine Saga, entitled UFO Agents of Terror. According to Keel, he initially sought to explain UFOs as extraterrestrial visitations, but later abandoned this hypothesis. His third book, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse, published in 1970, linked UFOs to supernatural concepts such as monsters, ghosts and demons. Keel used the term ultraterrestrials to describe UFO occupants he believed to be non-human entities capable of taking on whatever form they want.His 1975 book: The Mothman Prophecies was Keel's account of his investigation into alleged sightings in West Virginia of a huge, winged creature called Mothman. The book combines Keel's account of receiving strange phone calls with reports of mutilated pets and culminates with the December 15, 1967, collapse of the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River. The book was widely popularized as the basis of a 2002 film of the same name starring Richard Gere. Between 1969 and 1974 John Keel, privately publised and distributed a little known Irregularly Published Newsletter which was never sold by subscription and oddly printed in the order of a book starting at page one and ending at page 217 with a last word by Keel. Amazing articles found within the magazine: Malcolm X's experience with a paraphysical gentleman in a black suit. Jaques Vallee recounts his amazing story of a possible Men in Black encounter back in Italy in 1952. William Burroughs article on Mind Control and rare articles written by John Keel himself. Also, we have included in the begining of this anthology of ANOMALY, Keel's article entitled: The Flying Saucer Sub Culture as author's introductory satement. ___ Copy and paste the link for our books: https: //saucerianbooks.blogspot.com/ ____

Chesley Bonestell has been called the Father of Space Art. His photorealistic paintings of the Moon and planets, and other worlds beyond, have awed us since they were first published, over half a century ago. Moreover, he showed, long before Gagarin or Glenn, what it would be like for humans to explore the vastness of space.

As author Howard E. McCurdy has written in his book, Space and the American Imagination: No artist had more impact on the emerging popular culture of space in America than Chesley Bonestell. . . . Through his visual images, he stimulated the interest of a generation of Americans and showed how space travel would be accomplished.

Considering his great influence on both the public interest in space flight and the actual development of a national space program, it is therefore both surprising and unfortunate that, heretofore, there has not been available a bibliography documenting those places where Bonestell's art appeared in print. This book fills that void.

Written in cooperation with the artist's widow and his estate managers, A Chesley Bonestell Space Art Chronology contains well over 700 entries and is the definitive reference guide to publications containing Bonestell's space art. In praise of it, the illustrator Vincent Di Fate says: This entertaining and scholarly work is an invaluable and indispensable treasure for the vast legions of Bonestell's fans. [T]houghtful, engrossing and utterly thorough . . . [it] provides the cosmic ride of a lifetime.

An exhaustive catalog of official Boy Scout knives, axes and other blades, including pictures, descriptions and details for the collector.

In 1978, Donald Sidney-Fryer published the first full-scale bibliography of Clark Ashton Smith, Emperor of Dreams. In the more than forty years since that book's appearance, the publication and study of Smith's work have increased exponentially, and a new, more exhaustive bibliography is long overdue. The three compilers of this volume, all leading authorities on Smith, have now achieved this monumental feat.

Smith created a sensation when he published The Star-Treader and Other Poems (1912) at the age of 19. He issued several other poetry collections before moving on to writing tales of horror, fantasy, and science fiction for a wide variety of pulp magazines. He later resumed the writing of poetry, publishing numerous poems in English, French, and Spanish in little magazines, while his stories appeared in several volumes issued by Arkham House.

This volume details the totality of Smith's writings, from rare pamphlets to all his appearances in magazines to translations of his work into a dozen or more languages. It also chronicles the burgeoning field of Smith criticism, from books and pamphlets about Smith to newspaper articles from local papers to analyses in academic journals. A section on adaptations of Smith's work into various media--films, television shows, comic books, musical settings, and spoken-word recordings--is also included.

This volume is an essential work for any devotee or scholar of Clark Ashton Smith, charting the widespread dissemination of his tales, poems, and other writings throughout the world.
