Book Description
The story of a foundational aspect of publishing, from Gutenberg's press to today's digital type. It's common knowledge that the name Gutenberg and the words "moveable type" go together. What's far less known is that Garamond, Baskerville, and Bodoni aren't just font options in a word processing dropdown menu, but the names of some of the real punchcutters and type designers who raised the essential work of typography to the level of art. One Hundred Books Famous in Typography, the latest entry in the Grolier Club's prestigious Grolier Hundred series, is the story of art and technology working in harmony with each other, all the way from Johannes Gutenberg's ingenious development of a system for reproducing texts through the introduction of newer technologies like hot-metal line casting, phototype, and digital type. Featuring scholarly yet accessible context for the works discussed and their typographical significance, and illustrated with more than two hundred images, Jerry Kelly's book is the most comprehensive exploration yet of this essential facet of bookmaking and publishing.

Book Description
Lucy Corin's "eye popping, enlightening read" (Publishers Weekly), now in paperback. At the heart of Lucy Corin’s dazzling collection are one hundred apocalypses: visions of loss and destruction, vexation and crisis, revelation and revolution, sometimes only a few lines long. In these haunting and wickedly funny stories, an apocalypse might come in the form of the end of a relationship or the end of the world, but they all expose the tricky landscape of our longing for a clean slate. In three longer stories, contemporary American life is playfully, if disturbingly, distorted: the rite of passage for adolescent girls involves choosing the madman who will accompany them into adulthood; California burns to the ground while, on the east coast, life carries on; and a soldier returns home broke from war to encounter a witch who extends a dangerous offer. At once mournful and explosively energetic, One Hundred Apocalypses and Other Apocalypses is "deeply rooted in the politics and upheaval of our times" (Lambda Literary).

Book Description
One In A Hundred covers the four-year Army hitch of a not-so-fictional character from the Midwest during the Vietnam war. Our hero ends up a long way from rice paddies, however 7,800 feet up on a plateau in Asmara, Ethiopia. The Army Security Agency was sort of a M*A*S*H for enlisted men, and the book records what seems like more than one persons share of unusual experiences. Keith Ellis calls One In A Hundred, A charming, funny, touching, honest story about life in the US Army during the surreal sixties, for those who were there and for those who are glad they werent. If you were there, you will find yourself chuckling at memories from your own experiences of Basic Training, new acquaintances, and bizarre duty stations. If you werent, youll be amused by the unlikely mix of people, places, and circumstances encountered during one mans four-year tour.
