In the next few weeks, we'll take a closer look at some of these books (as well as some from last-week's posting of 1912 publications) in order to determine why they were of interest to our ancestors a century ago. In the meantime, we hope you find at least one book on this list that grabs your interest enough that you'll pay us a visit in the Bullis Room.
