Christmas in Maine
Pulitzer Prize winning poet Robert P. Tristram Coffin's 1941 depiction of the perfect Maine Christmas describes a farmhouse "banked with emerald jewels clustered on bayberry boughs," stuffed with aunts, uncles, and cousins by the cart load, with mince pies by the legion. You will feel like one of the family as he brings you along to play with cousins in the hay chaff, take a bouncy afternoon sled ride, savor the goose during the three-hour meal, string popcorn for the tree, and listen to tales by firelight at the drowsy end of a long and perfect day. Paired with gorgeous and evocative original woodblock prints by Maine artist Blue Butterfield, this edition will be a keepsake book, one to read aloud year after year to remind ourselves of the true meaning of the holidays.
Coast Calendar
Coast Calendar, says its Pulitzer Prizewinning author, is the story of the work and play, the human nature and the weather, the fauna and flora, the ups and downs in a simple, all-around Maine family that mixes farming of the sea with farming of the land. This is Robert P. Tristram Coffin's delightful chronicle of a year on the Maine coast. With a chapter for each month, beautifully handled text, and engaging drawings, the book follows the revolving seasons, each with its strong Maine weather and accompanying activities on the saltwater farm, in the surrounding woods, and on the bordering sea. This is the world of coastal Maine, but it is a wider world, too. Perhaps the deep frost and the special swing of the stars and sweep of the sea belong to Maine, but the fine day-to-day detail of living in tune with the seasons and nature will stir memories for many of a way of life that is rapidly passing.

A Puritan in Babylon
This book, which was first published in 1938, began as a biography of Calvin Coolidge, but author William Allen White found early in his task that he was writing the story of the growth and rise of economic America from the seventies until the crash of the Coolidge bull market in the autumn of 1929. In this story of an era in American life, the figure of Calvin Coolidge, a curious reversion to an old type, stands out in contrast to the vivid color of a gorgeous epoch. The history of the Coolidge bull market in detail from 1921, when Coolidge came to Washington as Vice President, until 1929, when he left Washington and public life, had not been written before. As that market boomed, Calvin Co...
