Hi all,
Just submitted my first book since the new site went live. Whew!
The book is "Promised Land: Thirteen Books That Changed America" by Jay
Parini.
Usual prevalidation has been done--headers stripped, page numbers and
chapter titles protected. Ranked spelling over 99% with some dialect and
unconventional spellings. Approx. 380 pages.
[Book jacket]
Americans need periodic reminding that they are, to a great extent, people
of the book--or, rather, books. In Promised Land, Jay Parini repossesses
that vibrant intellectual heritage by examining the life and times of
"thirteen books that changed America." Each of the books has been a
watershed, gathering intellectual currents already in motion and marking a
turn in American life and thought. Their influence remains pervasive,
however hidden, and in his essays Parini demonstrates how these books
entered American life and altered how we think and act in the world.
