Book Description
This ultimate travel guide for bibliophiles explores the most literary towns across the globe—full of charming bookshops, fairs, festivals, and more. The so-called “Book Towns” of the world are dedicated havens of literature, and the ultimate dream of book lovers everywhere. Book Towns takes readers on a richly illustrated tour of the forty semi-officially recognized literary towns around the world and outlines the history and development of each community, and offers practical travel advice. Many Book Towns have emerged in areas of marked attraction, such as Ureña in Spain or Fjaerland in Norway, where bookshops have been set up in buildings including former ferry waiting rooms and banks. While the UK has the best-known examples at Hay, Wigtown and Sedbergh, author and dedicated book collected Alex Johnson visits such far-flung locations as Jimbochu in Japan, College Street in Calcutta, and major unofficial “book cities” such as Buenos Aires.

Book Description
2021 Silver Medal IPPY Awards Winner for Best Regional Fiction!Nurse Abby never dreamed of becoming a spy behind the SS frontlines nor did she expect to fall in love. Follow her journey from Montana to Germany and back again, igniting a chain of events that will change history and the future forever.Rusty barbed wire and distant AM radio-Montana hid my secrets for fifty years.Then a young reporter arrived in a beat-up Impala. Her assignment, WWII Homecoming Memories, had uncovered a puzzling lead about several dead men last seen with a red-headed nurse. I could have lied, but she reminded me of myself at that age so I rolled a cigarette and told her all of it. She spilled coffee on my table.Her research started in New York. In choosing soldiers to profile, she included her hometown and discovered her great uncle, reported MIA in 1944, bought a train ticket to Browning, Montana, three months after they buried his empty casket. Impossible, yet on two consecutive pages, she counted 14 tickets to Browning-a village on the Blackfeet Reservation. The National Archives showed that 13 of those men shared the same distinct status: Missing in Action.I know where those passengers are.Southwest of Browning, where the plains run into the Rockies, stands a church. Once it represented everything good in our country, a tiny church built in 1913 by a young man for his wedding. Only four people attended the bride's funeral in 1918. Her twin babies slept through the service. Eight months earlier her husband marched into World War I and he never returned.My story starts and ends at that little church, but in between, the darkest hours of mankind churned through Europe. Some of that darkness found its way to Montana. As bad as it ended, I wondered if the Lord forgives murder. As it turns out, sometimes yes, sometimes definitely no.

Book Description
This book, written 250 years after Charles Edward Stuart first set foot on Scottish soil, reviews the vents of Bliadhna Thierlaich (Charlie's Year) and provides an objective and dispassionate account of the 1745 rising. The reasons, successes and tragedies are all traced through a variety of manuscripts, illustrations and printed sources, many of which are located in the National Library of Scotland and are reproduced here for the first time.
