A Niche Filled
Arcadia Publishing fulfills a niche in the world of books like no other publishing company. My dual interests in genealogy and American history have led me to its "Images of America" series time and time again. Recently I visited a relative's collection of papers at the Western History Collection at the University of Oklahoma. A summary of the collection mentioned "Roycroft book." I Googled "Roycroft" and read about that portion of the American Arts and Crafts Movement started by Elbert Hubbard in East Aurora, New York. I did a search on Amazon and up popped this wonderful book, "The Roycroft Campus" by Robert Rust and Kitty Turgeon. It is 128 pages in length and full of photographs. Anyone interested in the Arts and Crafts movement in the USA, the life of Elbert Hubbard, or in East Aurora, New York, will find this book infinitely readable and well-researched. The photographs are the jewels of the book.
