Books Published Posthumously
A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. The technical term for this physical arrangement is '' codex'' (plural, ''codices''). In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor, the scroll. A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page. As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a considerable investment of time to compose and still considered as an investment of time to read. In a restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage reflecting that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls and each scroll had to be identified by the book it contained.

Books Of Wonder
Books of Wonder is an independent bookstore and publisher based in Manhattan. It was established in 1980 by Peter Glassman and James Carey and is focused on selling antique, classic and new children's books. It has been called "New York City's oldest children's-only bookstore" still in activity. History The first Books of Wonder store was established in 1980 on Hudson Street in Greenwich Village. Peter Glassman, who had recently dropped out from Brown University, wanted a place to sell his antique children's books to collectors. After Carey and Glassman finished setting up the bookshelves and placing the items, the couple realized they still had plenty of space left and decided to sell classic and new children's books in addition to Glassman's books. During its first year open, the store made around US$78,000 and saw enough success that they decided to move from its 150 square feet to a larger location in 1982. The location on Hudson Street factored into the store's early succes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Tiger's Eye
''The Tiger's Eye: A Jungle Fairy Tale'' is a short story by L. Frank Baum, famous as the creator of the Land of Oz. The story was unpublished in its own era, but has attracted significant attention since its belated publication in 1962. Baum wrote the story most likely in 1905, to conclude his series of ''Animal Fairy Tales''. The nine stories in that collection first appeared in nine consecutive issues of ''The Delineator'', a popular women's magazine of the day, in 1905. "The Tiger's Eye," however, was not printed in the magazine, "probably because it was considered too frightening for small children."Katharine M. Rogers, ''L. Frank Baum, Creator of Oz: A Biography'', New York, St. Martin's Press. 2002; p. 134. "Baum indicated in a letter" that the story "was intended to be the tenth of the ''Animal Fairy Tales'' in a planned book edition,"L.

Reilly & Lee
The Reilly and Britton Company, known after 1918 as Reilly & Lee, was an American publishing company of the early and middle 20th century, best known for children's and popular culture books from authors like L. Frank Baum and Edgar A. Guest. Founded in 1904 by two former employees of George M. Hill's publishing company, Frank Kennicott Reilly and Charles Britton, the company would later be guided by William F. Lee until it was acquired by the Henry Regnery Company in 1959. Founding When the Chicago publishing firm of George M. Hill, the publisher of the first edition of Baum's ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' (1900), went out of business in March 1902, two of its employees, head salesman Sumner Charles Britton and production manager Frank Kennicott Reilly, formed their own publishing venture, the Madison Book Company of Chicago. (Britton was an Arkansas native who first came to Chicago in 1893, to report on the World's Columbian Exposition for The Kansas City Star. He was strongly ...

Jack Snow (writer)
John Frederick Snow (August 15, 1907 – July 13, 1956), born Piqua, Ohio was an American radio writer, writer of ghost stories, and scholar, primarily of the works of L. Frank Baum. When Baum died in 1919, the twelve-year-old Snow offered to be the next Royal Historian of Oz, but was politely turned down by a staffer at Baum's publisher, Reilly & Lee. Snow eventually wrote two Oz books: ''The Magical Mimics in Oz'' (1946) and ''The Shaggy Man of Oz'' (1949), as well as '' Who's Who in Oz'' (1954), a thorough guide to the Oz characters, all of which Reilly & Lee published. In his second year in high school, the precocious Snow created the first radio review column in American journalism, in ''The Cincinnati Enquirer.'' After graduation, Snow pursued a career in print journalism and primarily in radio, with periods in teachers college and the U. S. Army. He named the Ohio radio station WING, and spent seven years with the National Broadcasting Company in New York. In 1944, he att ...
