New titles for December 2005:

Texas Coast by Joe Nick Patoski and Laurence Parent.

This beautiful book combines magnificent photographs with entertaining text to create a one-of-kind portrait of the Texas coast from Sabine Pass to Boca Chica.

The First Texas News Barons by Patrick Cox.

Newspaper publishers played a crucial role in transforming Texas by promoting industrial expansion and urbanization, as well as an image of Texas as a southwester, rather than a southern, state. This book examines how newspaper owners such as William P. Hobby and Oveta Culp Hobby of the Houston Post, and Jesse H. Jones and Marcellus Foster of the Houston Chronicle paved the way for today’s Texas.

Texas Almanac 2006-2007: Sesquicentennial Edition.

An indispensable compilation of Texas history, facts and figures, fully updated for 2006-2007. No Texan’s bookshelf is complete without the Texas Almanac.
