Giveaway #3: Flights of Fancy
Americans have always been fascinated by birds and from the beginning America’s greatest writers have captured this keen interest in a variety of genres. American Birds, Library of America’s newest special anthology, brings together an astonishing array of writers and poets to offer a one-of-a-kind field guide to the American literary imagination.
• One copy of American Birds: A Literary Companion, edited by Andrew Rubenfeld and Terry Tempest Williams

Giveaway #4: Classic Crime
Be among the first to get two new irresistible paperback editions of classic crime novels by pioneering women writers. In Helen Eustis’s 1946 Edgar-Award winning The Horizontal Man, a philandering professor at a small New England college is found dead, setting off ripples of anxiety, suspicion, and panic. Inspiration for Jean-Luc Godard’s classic film Band of Outsiders, Dolores Hitchens’s novel Fools’ Gold, from 1958, is a thriller about two teenagers who think they’ve stumbled on easy money.
• One copy of The Horizontal Man by Helen Eustis, with a foreword by Charles Finch
• One copy of Fools’ Gold by Dolores Hitchens, with a foreword by Duane Swierczynski
• A Women Crime Writers bookmark
