Addressed to "Ralph" Ralph G. Newman 1912-2000 founder of Chicago's famed Abraham Lincoln Book Shop. Writing on "Columbia University" letterhead Nevins first discusses Bruce Catton's book "This Hallowed Ground: The Story of the Union Side of the Civil War." He writes: "Here we are. Bruce has written a fine book. It will delight everybody. It reads at times as if he had written in haste but I did not mention that. Some of the omissions are rather startling. But as a whole it is a superb performance." He then discusses Newman and Otto Eisenschiml's 1947 book "The American Iliad: The Epic Story of the Civil War as Narrated by Eyewitnesses and Contemporaries" an anthology that had just been rereleased by Grosset & Dunlap with a "Pictorial Chronicle" volume added by E.B. "Pete" Long. He writes "My congratulations on those two volumes of yours and Pete Long's. They are magnificent. You will have a very large sale. I agree that in time the second volume should be enlarged. It is fine as it stands but expansion would make it still finer. The whole set is a real public service."

"Knives Out feel by way of Lemony Snicket…This archly told never muddled debut whodunit reveals a roster of distinct characters a labyrinthine setting and plot and a mystery that is as clever as its heroine." – Publishers Weekly starred review "The suspenseful denouement is positively writhing with twists." —Booklist starred review On the day they are born every Swift child is brought before the sacred Family Dictionary. They are given a name and a definition. A definition it is assumed they will grow up to match. Meet Shenanigan Swift: Little sister. Risk-taker. Mischief-maker. Shenanigan is getting ready for the big Swift Family Reunion and plotting her next great scheme: hunting for Grand-Uncle Vile's long-lost treasure. She's excited to finally meet her arriving relatives—until one of them gives Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude a deadly shove down the stairs. So what if everyone thinks she'll never be more than a troublemaker just because of her name Shenanigan knows she can become whatever she wants even a detective. And she's determined to follow the twisty clues and catch the killer. Deliciously suspenseful and delightfully clever The Swifts is a remarkable debut that is both brilliantly contemporary and instantly classic. A celebration of words and individuality it's packed with games wordplay and lots and lots of mischief as Shenanigan sets out to save her family and define herself in a world where definitions are so important.
