The Archaeology of Connecticut is a rich discussion of the work that archaeologists are engaged in, what they look for, and the methods they use. It is a celebration of the importance of understanding and preserving the past, of putting together the puzzles left behind by earlier inhabitants, and of the numerous important sites already identified.

Connecticut's so-called Blue Laws have been famous (infamous) for years. Now you can read a compilation of this 17th century legislation yourself. A resource for historians, fun for modern day tipplers, a must for anyone interested in colonial lore.

During the early nineteenth century, John Warner Barber, an amateur historian, an engraver and a printer, traveled around Connecticut sketching town greens, hotels, schools, churches, and harbors. He collected local history during his travels and immersed himself in the works of such noted historians as Dr. Trumbull. From these labors he produced Connecticut Historical Collections. The first popular local history published in the U.S., the book sold 7,000 copies in its initial year even though it cost $3.00, an average weeks pay. Many of the remaining antique copies of Barber's books have been "broken" so that the engravings could be removed and framed. Now, with this facsimile edition, readers can once again enjoy Barber's beautiful engravings as well as his entertaining histories of Connecticut towns.

In her newest book, Regina Barreca writes of growing up in an urban Italian American household under the watchful eyes of her aunts. She shares stories of an adult pajama party, her own hysterectomy, and adventures (and misadventures) with her many friends. She describes learning about her mother's French Canadian relatives, her husband's love of too-fast cars, and her "talent" for remembering lyrics to vintage rock 'n 'roll songs. Always warm and humorous, Barreca, who was deemed a "Feminist Humor Maven" by Ms. magazine, has a knack for voicing the thoughts and concerns of ordinary Americans. First published in Northeast Magazine and the Chicago Tribune, her columns have attracted a wide readership. Her many fans eagerly await this new collection.

In this salty, maritime classic, Stephen Jones describes a youthful year spent at a lighthouse. The passage of four seasons brings hilarious, touching, somber, and terrifying adventures. The tower and its assorted keepers, each in his way, are assaulted by vessels run amok, by boozy and lascivious fishermen, by birds, fogs, fantasies, and the looming specter of a storm. First published in 1981, it is reissued with a new introduction by the author.
