It's tucked away in a quiet corner of the Library, and some of my favorite books live there. Did you walk past it after you finished perusing the history books at the end of the Adult Non-Fiction section? Or maybe you missed it on your way to find a US News & World Report from 1994 in the back issues of our magazines? If you picked out a Biography to take home and read, you were standing right next to it.
Of course, there are gorgeous folios there of art work from around the world and beautiful coffee table books about places you'd love to visit on your vacation. But there's so much more to see...
How about architecture?
Or home decor?
Natural History, perhaps?
Or maybe you'd prefer Ancient History?
Are you a bird-watcher? This book is definitely for you!
There's something for everyone in the Oversize collection, and here's a list of my Top Ten favorites just to whet your appetite:
1. The Book of the Dragon
2. Carousel Horses
3. Earth From Above
4. Stained Glass
5. The Ultimate Kite Book
6. Folk Music Instruments of the World
7. The Dollhouse Book
8. Heritage of America Cookbook
9. History of Aviation
10. Fire Engines in North America
So next time you stop in to see us here at the Library, take a moment to stroll past the Reference Desk, beyond the Biographies and all the way to the back wall to check out our wonderful selection of Oversize books. Who knows, maybe you'll find a new favorite there...
