How many people have wanted to write and publish their own "Great American Novel?" Very few of us actually find the time to do just that...and those that   accomplish putting word to paper, find it just as hard to get that dream published and available to the masses. Consequently, there have been many books written by local authors that never see a bookstore shelf or acknowledged as a significant contribution to our local history. These ambitious few, along with those that have titles long out of print, deserve to   be cataloged.

IOWA

At this site, I will attempt to provide as many entries as I can: Books of local interest, titles published by local residence and those of surrounding communities, and books about the area -directly and indirectly. Many are not available in book stores, and even some that are out of print. Some are only available from the authors themselves. This site is for information only and not a place to order the titles, however I will include info (as I know it) on whether the book is out-of-print, still available, and the possibilities of obtaining a copy. Some titles may be found on E-Bay or at flea markets and if you are really lucky, a garage sale or Grandma's attic.
