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.
Age 11 is the worst possible age to move away from your school and all your friends. Just ask Ivy Appleton. She's moved from one side of the country to the other. She'll never have friends again! Worse, the old, wrecked house her parents have moved her to is haunted. Are ghosts really cannibals? That's what she's been told. She hasn't even unpacked before one starts appearing in her closet. And her parents won't believe a word she says. Is she doomed? Clifton LaBarge, a local kid, knows all about her house and its secrets, but won't share what he knows.

Can Ivy change history? She's determined to try. But doing that will require a kind of courage she never knew she had.

In the first third of the twentieth century, the publishing industry in the United Kingdom and the United States was marked by well-established and comfortable traditions pursued by family-dominated firms. The British trade was the preserve of self-satisfied men entirely certain of their superiority in the world of letters; their counterparts in North America were blissfully unaware of development and trends outside their borders.
