Die Studie fächert erstmals die Entwicklung der Leipziger Buchmesse von 1945 bis 1990 auf. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fand die Messe ihre Rolle im planwirtschaftlichen Literaturbetrieb. Die DDR nutzte sie als Leistungsschau, um Bücher und Kultur vor internationaler Kulisse in Szene zu setzen. Dabei diente das Frankfurter Pendant als Maßstab. Für die Lesenden in der Diktatur bot die Messe einzigartigen Zugang zu westlichen Medieninhalten und war Ort des legendären Messeklaus. Dieser Offenheit begegneten die Beteiligten mit Zensur und Überwachung durch die Staatssicherheit. Durch die Messe wurde Leipzig zu einem Knotenpunkt des deutsch-deutschen Kulturaustauschs. Die Verlage der Bundesrepublik suchten den Kontakt und wirkten als Schrittmacher des innerdeutschen Literaturtransfers. Mit Blick auf die konfliktreiche Beziehung beider Börsenvereine leisteten sie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Entspannung zwischen Ost und West. Auf einer breiten Quellenbasis rekonstruiert Patricia F. Blume die Entstehung der Leipziger Buchmesse, ihre Funktionen und ihren Wandel. Dabei verbindet sie Buchhandelsgeschichte mit Wirtschafts-, Alltags-, Kultur- und Rezeptionsgeschichte.

A sequel to the author’s critically acclaimed Delphinium title, One of These Things First, The Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls is a poison-pen, love letter to the end of an era—Manhattan during the decadent, late 1970s. Picking up where he left off at the end of his widely praised debut memoir, One of These Things First, Gaines recounts his hilarious, sometimes poignant attempt to forge a writing career and a successful love life in the gay world of the 1970s. He has limited success until he falls in love with an older woman dying of cancer. Meanwhile, he serendipitously begins a career as a writer when he meets a former child evangelist, and with naïve chutzpah, manages to land a book deal that leads to a whirlwind career as a biographer, rock and roll columnist, and roman à clef novelist who writes a book with a Studio 54 bartender that brings the world down around them. From inside the entertainment business in New York and L.A. to inside the publishing world, Gaines narrates a life of escapades and adventures and searching for love in all the wrong places. After hitting rock bottom, he writes a book about the Beatles that ends up on the New York Times bestseller list, leading to popular esteem and a feeling of momentary redemption.

In the tradition of such beloved food writers as Ruth Reichl, Laurie Colwin, and Calvin Trillin, Carrie Seidman, an award-winning newspaper journalist for 45 years, serves forth A PLACE AT THE TABLE, a collection of food/memoir essays that got its start as a column for the late Albuquerque Tribune. Drawing on her memories of growing, cooking, foraging for, eating, and talking about food with family, friends, and strangers, Seidman explores the intersection between what sustains us physically and how it binds us emotionally. Whether creating pizza from scratch with a foster child who thinks it can only be delivered in a box, bemoaning the fate of a childhood pet who ended up in the freezer, or examining the impact of the loss of taste and smell from the Covid-19 virus, these timeless essays offer insight, humor, and storytelling as satisfying and comforting as a home-cooked meal. Accompanied by charming chapter-head illustrations created by the author's sister, a New Mexico artist, each commentary is followed by a treasured recipe from the Seidman family trove.A PLACE AT THE TABLE will strike chords of remembrance and nostalgia in readers at a time when health and heritage have assumed a high priority and food has become an avenue for creativity, solace, and connection.

Bookshelves in the Age of the COVID-19 Pandemic provides the first detailed scholarly investigation of the cultural phenomenon of bookshelves (and the social practices around them) since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. With a foreword by Lydia Pyne, author of Bookshelf (2016), the volume brings together 17 scholars from 6 countries (Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and the USA) with expertise in literary studies, book history, publishing, visual arts, and pedagogy to critically examine the role of bookshelves during the current pandemic. This volume interrogates the complex relationship between the physical book and its digital manifestation via online platforms, a relationship brought to widespread public and scholarly attention by the global shift to working from home and the rise of online pedagogy. It also goes beyond the (digital) bookshelf to consider bookselling, book accessibility, and pandemic reading habits.

The Coffee-Table Book in the Post-War Anglophone World argues that coffee-table books appeared and became popular in the post-war era at the convergence of three important developments: advances in full colour printing technology, social change, and publishing entrepreneurism and innovation. Examining the coffee-table book through a book history lens acknowledges their significant contribution to post-war visual culture and illustrated publishing. Focussing on post-war America, Great Britain, and Australia during the ¿golden age¿ era of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, this history of the coffee-table book takes an interdisciplinary approach to put the coffee-table book in context in regards to materiality, format, printing, status, and genre.
