Book excerpt: If you can’t bring the man to the books, bring the books to the man. Mary Lemist Titcomb (1852–1932) was always looking for ways to improve her library. As librarian at the Washington County Free Library in Maryland, Titcomb was concerned that the library was not reaching all the people it could. She was determined that everyone should have access to the library—not just adults and those who lived in town. Realizing its limitations and inability to reach the county’s 25,000 rural residents, including farmers and their families, Titcomb set about to change the library system forever with the introduction of book-deposit stations throughout the country, a children’s room in the library, and her most revolutionary idea of all—a horse-drawn Book Wagon. Soon book wagons were appearing in other parts of the country, and by 1922, the book wagon idea had received widespread support. The bookmobile was born!

The stories he tells of his life, friends, and adventures along the way give a revealing peek into that long-ago war. His writing is always upbeat, despite the terrible hardships and physical trauma he suffered, and his dry wit, humor, and unique perspective make this a story you won't want to put down.

Book excerpt: Lawyer on Wheels is part travelogue, part adventure and part biography. Most of all, it is a book about bicycling, written by a man whose life has been inextricably linked with this pastime. The author has spent most of his life touring the world, solo, on a bicycle. This book provides detailed diaries of several long bicycle trips, most notably a long trip through Mexico and Central America, which featured numerous highs and a very significant low. There are also descriptions of the author's numerous trips to Australia and South America, and even to Southeast Asia and Africa. As well, the author's many voyages in the USA and Canada have also been chronicled. Within the descriptions of the tours are many observations of the places visited and the people the author has met. Additionally, the author has written about how to bicycle safely on the highway and in the city. It is the hope of the author that readers will enjoy the adventure and observations, and be inspired to ride, whether it be around the world or in their own town or city.
