Gina just posted this on FG board - thought I'd post it here for those who don't check over there :-)
This was on the website today:
Hoover Library Publishes New Book on Laura Ingalls Wilder
The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library is pleased to announce the publication of Laura Ingalls Wilder and the American Frontier: Five Perspectives. This new volume in the Library's extensive publication program brings together essays first presented at a popular conference held at the Library several years ago.
Dwight M. Miller, former Senior Archivist at the Library and the director of the conference, edited the book.
It promises to be a valuable addition to any Laura library. "Scholars Elizabeth Jameson, Anita Clair Fellman, Ann Weller Dahl, John E. Miller and Ann Romaines each offer perceptive views on the influence, philosophy, and documentary value of the "Little House' books," writes Wilder scholar William Anderson. "Dwight Miller has done an excellent job of compiling and editing these essays into an outstanding volume that will be of interest to all the readers of the Little House books."
The book can be purchased for $24 in the Hoover Museum Store or by mail for $28 postage paid. For more information call 319-643-5301.
The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library is located in West Branch just off Interstate 80 at Exit 254. The museum store is open 9 am to 5 pm seven days a week

Thanks for the news, Jennifer! Just when you think there's never going to be anything new, something good comes along. BTW, in what state is the Hoover Library?

Thanks, Jennie. I had no idea it was in Iowa. Have you ever been there, or do you think you'll get a chance to go there?

I've been there twice already. I'm adding the picures from there right now actually. This is the place where you can get Pioneer Girl her manuscript for $97 but its MUCH cheaper $29.99 if you make the copies yourself.

It will be nice getting a new book. I haven't read any books (Laura related) in a long time. I am looking forward to this book.
