Great American Best Sellers: Books that Shaped America

Here we find an expert look at the evolution of the tastes, hopes and dreams of the periods studied. Each work in this series from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to How to Win Friends and Influence People has had a crucial and unique impact on American society. These studies give us a deeper understanding of how American literature can both mirror the events of its time and interact with and impact them. If you have not read the 22 works, that is ok, but you will probably want to later! Optional small text booklet ordered through the office by 5/30, Cost $12.00.
