Description

William Bradford Huie

Huie became nationally famous during his lifetime but seems to be forgotten today, despite the fact that the subjects he explored are still current and the controversies surrounding them are still raging. Time seems to have passed Huie by—or has it?

William Bradford Huie: An Annotated Checklist of His First Editions

Some of Huie’s books are findable, but a number of his first editions have disappeared from the marketplace. Anybody own a fine copy of The Revolt of Mamie Stover?

The High-Concept World of Cozy Classics

The Cozy Classics are a series of children’s books created by Jack and Holman Wang. Their idea was to “take adult classics…and abridge them into word primers with just 12 words and 12 images.”

Collecting Cozy Classics

There are two different publishers of the series: Simply Read Books and Chronicle Books, which also reprinted the early Simply Read titles with new cover images and design elements.
