How do books attract their readers? This collection takes a closer look at book covers and their role in promoting sales and shaping readers' responses.

Topics include book covers and the internet bookstore; the links between books, the music industry, and film; literary prizes and the selling of books; subcultures and sales of young adult fiction; the cover as a signifier of literary value; and the marketing of ethnicity and lesbian pulp fiction.

A new collection showcasing the best of Ernest Hemingway’s short stories including his well-known classics, as featured in the magnificent three-part, six-hour PBS documentary by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick—introduced by award-winning author Tobias Wolff. Ernest Hemingway, a literary icon and considered one of the greatest American writers of all time, is the subject of a major documentary by award-winning filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. This intimate portrait of Hemingway—who brilliantly captured the complexities of the human condition in spare and profound prose, and whose work remains deeply influential in literature and culture—interweaves a close study of biographical events with excerpts from his work. The Hemingway Stories features Hemingway’s most significant short stories in chronological order, so viewers of the film as well as fans old and new can follow the trajectory of his impressive life and career. Hemingway’s beloved classics, such as “The Short and Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” “Up in Michigan,” “Indian Camp,” and “The Snows of Kilimanjaro,” are accompanied by fresh insights from renowned writers around the world—Mario Vargas Llosa, Edna O’Brien, Abraham Verghese, Tim O’Brien, and Mary Karr. Tobias Wolff's introduction adds a new perspective to Hemingway’s work, and Wolff has selected additional stories that demonstrate Hemingway’s talent and range. The power of the Ernest Hemingway’s revolutionary style is perhaps most striking in his short stories, and here readers can encounter the tales that created the legend: stories of men and women in love and in war and on the hunt, stories of a lost generation born into a fractured time. This collection is a perfect introduction for a new generation of Hemingway readers and a vital volume for any fan.

Including rare documentary photographs, this epic, real-life love story offers a unique account of an event that shaped the life and work of one of the century's most charismatic and important authors and serves as an invaluable companion to the major motion picture it inspired.

The Library of America's definitive Hemingway edition continues with three classic works, all presented in new, corrected texts. This much anticipated second volume in Library of America’s edition of the collected writings of Ernest Hemingway brings together 3 of the author’s classic works from the late 1920s and early 1930s, all presented in new, corrected texts prepared by Hemingway scholar Robert W. Trogdon. Reinstating expletives redacted by Hemingway’s editor Maxwell Perkins, fixing numerous errors, and restoring Hemingway’s preferred American spellings, these texts bring us closer than ever before to Hemingway’s intentions for his books. Here for the first time in one volume are: Men Without Women (1927), Hemingway's second short story collection, which includes such classic stories as “In Another Country,” “The Killers,” “Ten Indians,” and “Hills Like White Elephants”; A Farewell to Arms (1929), Hemingway's heartbreaking novel of love and war; and Death in the Afternoon (1932), his grand mediation on bullfighting, mortality, and writing. All 81 photographs that appeared in Death in the Afternoon come scintillatingly alive here, reproduced from the original negatives for the first time since the book’s publication. The volume also includes a selection of Hemingway’s letters from 1927 to 1932 that cast light on his life, artistic aims, and publishing activities during this period. A detailed chronology of the author’s life, explanatory notes, and a textual essay bring added value for readers.
