How I Sold a Ton of Books... and How You Can, Too!: Secrets of Self-Publishing
"How did you sell so many books?" That is what newly-published writers were asking best-selling author, Lester Horwitz. Thay had stacks of books in their home and needed to know how to sell them. In response, Horwitz wrote this 232-page workbook that addresses everything from writing to publishing to marketing a book. Writers are encouraged to keep this book handy for easy reference. This book reveals his real-life experiences in promoting his first book to become a best-seller. It is featured on C-Span/BookTv and nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. He has received hundreds of invitations and speakers' fees. But more than his personal journey to success, the book has comments and suggestions from 28 other authors how they got their first book published and marketed. For over four decades, Horwitz was CEO of a national advertising agency serving many Fortune 500 companies. That time-tested marketing know-how is now in book form to help other writers who ask, "What do I do now?"
“Out of the Mouth of Hell”
Many Civil War prisoners, Confederate and Federal, came to feel that a quick death from a bullet would have been better than slowly starving in a cold, crowded, filthy prison. The hope of freedom was sometimes the only thing that kept a prisoner alive and he tried every way possible to escape. Here are histories of 27 of the most significant locations used to hold soldiers captured on the battlefield as well as political prisoners suspected of disloyalty. They focus especially on the desperate and courageous attempts to gain freedom. Federal and Confederate facilities are each organized alphabetically. Facts about each prison include when it was established, type of facility, location, number and kind of prisoners held, known escapes, and other available data. The histories are rich with detailed accounts of escapes and of conditions inside the prisons.

Sovereignty, Emergency, Legality
It is widely recognized that times of national emergency put legality to its greatest test. In such times we rely on sovereign power to rescue us, to hold the danger at bay. Yet that power can and often does threaten the values of legality itself. Sovereignty, Emergency, Legality examines law's complex relationship to sovereign power and emergency conditions. It puts today's responses to emergency in historical and institutional context, reminding readers of the continuities and discontinuities in the ways emergencies are framed and understood at different times and in different situations. And, in all this, it suggests the need to be less abstract in the way we discuss sovereignty, emergency, and legality. This book concentrates on officials and the choices they make in defining, anticipating, and responding to conditions of emergency as well as the impact of their choices on embodied subjects, whether citizen or stranger.

First Citizen
In 1919, the doors of Youngstown's Butler Institute of American Art were opened for the first time. Dubbed "the lighthouse of culture," both the beautiful marble museum and the artwork inside were the gift of 19th-century industrialist Joseph G. Butler, Jr., in what was the crowning achievement of a long life. Butler earned his successes with hard work, a competitive spirit and business savvy. He earned a fortune in the iron and steel industry crowded by such figures as Andrew Carnegie, Henry Frick and Charles Schwab. Butler also took on politicians, promoted American interests, preserved American history and spearheaded projects to improve his community. To friends and admirers, he was affectionately referred to as "Uncle Joe." This biography chronicles Butler's early life through his career in the iron and steel industry, detailing his contributions to the art world, his philanthropic endeavors and his accomplishments as an author and historian.
