IMAGINE pooling the knowledge and insight of the top authorities on modern American authors and their works … with the skills of leading archivists, picture researchers, biographers, and bibliographers —and television producers … to create an all-in-one video collection to answer important needs of all public, university, and high school libraries!

From Harvard, Princeton, the University of Virginia to name but a few — Omnigraphics has recruited Matthew Bruccoli, Alfred Kazin, Cleanth Brooks, Valerie Smith, Helen Vendler, George Garrett, Leslie Fiedler, and other luminaries to discuss the writers, books, and literary trends and eras on which they are acknowledged authorities.

From other, equally impressive sources come skilled picture researchers, camera people, television technicians of every skill—to provide your library patrons who view these programs with memorable graphic treats.

Cherished family photographs, unposed snapshots rarely if even seen before, caricatures biting or affectionate, rare first-edition book jackets, whole pages of manuscripts and proofs bearing the author’s notations —all required diligent labor to find, and, as you will soon see, are well worth the invested effort.
