“It reminded me of how different it was in the 80s, during the Reagan era, and how as the decade progressed, you felt more and more threatened by your lifestyle being not acceptable in society,” said Connolly. “Now that Trump has been elected, right now I feel just as uncomfortable, if not more, about the choices I make in my lifestyle than I did in the 80s.”

Agate Publishing bounced back in 2017, from a down year in 2016, to post a 7% gain over 2015. Besides a boom in sales of books and other educational content in its Agate Development unit (its digital content development service business), Agate founder Doug Seibold says last year’s improvement was spearheaded by Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut, written by Derrick Barnes and illustrated by Gordon C. James. The children’s picture book, released as part of Agate’s new multicultural children’s book line, Denene Millner Books, was published in October 2017 to critical acclaim. The book was a runner-up for some of the most prestigious awards in U.S. children’s book publishing: it was named a Newbery Honor book for content, a Caldecott Honor book for illustrations, and a Coretta Scott King Honor book for both text and illustrations. Crown also appeared on several year-end best-of lists for 2017, and it is now in its fifth printing, bringing the number in print to 65,000 copies. It’s the fastest-selling book Agate has published since 2012, which was the first year Agate appeared on our fast-growing list.

Your local library is also paying more for ebooks since agency pricing was implemented. Very early on, publishers realized that e-books do not have as much legal protections as physical books do, because they are considered a service and not a product. This has resulted in the e-book cost increasing over  800% and limits on the number of checkouts being imposed.

She learned to cook in the same house she lives in now, as she and her husband moved in with her father when he became ill.

UA classes visit the museum library and borrow material via inter-library loan. And professors make use of museum art that is germane to what they are teaching — even calling upon art that’s in storage.

The first Barefoot Contessa cookbook already has its iconography intact; the aesthetic that follows in the next eight books is just versioning. Opposite the title page, Ina is pictured barefoot, one big toe showing polish, and she is shucking corn, surrounded by a riot of summer green, in an ankle-length black skirt with a white shirt worn under a white shirt and then a white apron on top. She is on a bench, next to an extremely rustic woven willow basket. It’s about loving being at home, particularly if your home has a couple acres of garden, and yet it’s accessible. It’s never about perfection, as it is with Martha, but it is about personal triumph.

"The Wonky Donkey," featuring illustrations by Katz Cowley, had already sold hundreds of thousands of copies in New Zealand and Australia, where Clark, a native of Scotland, now lives. But until recently it had a much smaller audience in the United States. According to Scholastic, the book had sold about 75,000 copies and was out of print before the video caught on last month.

Even the idle rich, as conservative patron saint Frederick Hayek once insisted, have a socially constructive role to play. Wealth gives them the freedom to experiment “with new styles of living,” new “fields of thought and opinion, of tastes and beliefs.” The wealthy enrich our culture.

Print unit sales in the adult nonfiction category were 2.9% higher than in 2016, benefitting from the more than one million copies sold of Milk and Honey. Kaur’s most recent book, released in October, The Sun and Her Flowers, sold almost 554,000 copies through the end of the year. Within adult nonfiction, the self-help subcategory had the strongest gains, with units up 18%.

They also expanded fund-raising to include online raffles and auctions for such services as manuscript evaluations by best-selling children’s authors and “character naming,” with the winning donor’s name to appear in an as-yet-to-be-written novel. Another group of kidlit authors, agents and publishers made an online clearinghouse of original posters designed by prominent children’s book illustrators to protest family separation, all available for free download.

One vintage spacecraft even pushed past the boundary of interstellar space: Voyager 2 is now thought to be beyond the gravitational reach of the sun after decades of travel.
