As a die-hard nonfiction book lover, I am excited about this curated collection of books. It has a variety of titles that weren't previously on my radar and will keep my reading list full for a long time to come. Any fellow reader of nonfiction will definitely enjoy this fun book. Highly recommended! --Stephanie Chandler, CEO of the Nonfiction Author's Association and author of The Nonfiction Book Publishing Plan Picking a book to read is always a difficult decision because there are so many to choose from. Linda Maxie has done readers a great service by culling through numerous reputable sources to provide a wonderful roadmap to some of the best books available. Although her list is not definitive, and many outstanding books don't make the cut, her carefully curated list is an excellent companion for any book lover. --Eric Jay Dolin, author of Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution Stupendous! Amazing! Fantabulous! Linda Maxie's Library Lin's Curated Collection of Superlative Nonfiction is everything it claims to be. It's a book to dip into, drink from its information stream, and be inspired to storm the ramparts of knowledge for the books she profiles. Not only does it provide hundreds of suggestions for great reading, but the thumbnail descriptions themselves offer hours of good, clean fun. -Thomas C. Foster author of How to Read Nonfiction Like a Professor: A Smart, Irreverent Guide to Biography, History, Journalism, Blogs, and Everything in Between For lovers of the written word, this book is like an enticing menu in a fine restaurant. Each dish sounds more tasty than the last. But this is a menu long enough to provide delicious intellectual meals for decades to come. --Adam Hochschild author of Rebel Cinderella: From Rags to Riches to Radical, the Epic Journey of Rose Pastor Stokes Library Lin's curated collection is a pirate's treasure chest of nudges and discoveries, a lifetime list of wonderful reading.
