Description: Historic Photos of Norfolk With nearly 200 black and white images of people, places and events from the 1860s to the 1970s, Historic Photos of Norfolk captures a century of Norfolk scenes, including some of the city's earliest known photographic images. The resilience of the community is a common theme-- pulling together after fires and hurricanes, working together during wartime, playing and celebrating during peacetime. The book's 10" by 10" format provides ample landscape to showcase images by some of the city's best-known photographers-- including Harry C. Mann, Charles Borjes, Harden D. Vollmer and Caroll Walker. Many of the images are from the collection of the Sargeant Memorial Room of Norfolk's Kirn Memorial Library; others were gathered from public archives at the Library of Virginia and Library of Congress, and from private collections. Peggy Haile McPhillips is a life-long resident of Norfolk and serves as Norfolk's City Historian. Book Signing: Thursday, July 10, 12:30- 2 p.m.

The Billionaire's Vinegar: The Mystery of the World's Most Expensive Bottle of Wine
by
Wallace, Benjamin
Benjamin Wallace has uncorked an absolutely fascinating account of the world's most expensive bottle of wine. This is an intoxicating read with the complexity and nuances of a great vintage. As your book 'sommelier' I recommend that you drink deep of this heady narrative concerning world-class connoisseurs, deep-pocketed collectors, extremely costly crushed grapes and -- quite possibly -- a diabolically clever con man.--Joe Drabyak, Chester County Book Co. Inc. (West Chester, PA) |
