Obscene in the Extreme: The Burning and Banning of John Steinbeck's the Grapes of Wrath
Few books have caused as big a stir as John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath , when it was published in April 1939. By May, it was the nation’s number one bestseller, but in Kern County, California—the Joads’ newfound home—the book was burned publicly and banned from library shelves. Obscene in the Extreme tells the remarkable story behind this fit of censorship. When W. B. “Bill” Camp, a giant cotton and potato grower, presided over its burning in downtown Bakersfield, he declared: “We are angry, not because...

....And that's a good thing. This is the the Graveland I love. Simplistic, repulsive, no beauty whatsoever. Just underproduced ugliness. This is up there with Beherit's Drawing Down the Moon in terms of malicious music. The riffs are well constructed and perfectly placed within the songs. They grind along like shards of metal. Drumming is simplistic and extremely plodding, almost sounding like the coming of war. Bass guitar? Where? Darkens use of extremely sinister sounding keyboards compliment this...

Look what's new from Mosser Glass! This detailed Scottish Terrier in the pretty color Burning Embers comes from a brand new mould.This Scottie dog stands 3-1/4 inches tall to the tip of its pointy ears. Made from solid glass it also measures 4 inches in length. The base is marked with the Mosser M inside the outline of the state of Ohio. The slag coloration varies slightly on each piece. If you collect Scottie dogs you are going to want to add this piece to your collection.

When W. B. "Bill" Camp, a giant cotton and potato grower, presided over its burning in downtown Bakersfield, he declared: "We are angry, not because we were attacked but because we were attacked by a book obscene in the extreme sense of the word." But Gretchen Knief, the Kern County librarian, bravely fought back. "If that book is banned today, what book will be banned tomorrow?" "Obscene in the Extreme" serves as a window into an extraordinary time of upheaval in America--a time when, as Steinbeck...

"I loved being able to use the website to design the nametags since I knew a basic of what I wanted being able to use stock graphics helped a LOT as I'm not a graphic artist in any sense of the word but you had exactly what I was looking for! I tried different type fonts, got to see what they would look like, change the layouts, etc... I am really happy with how they turned out as I know it's sometimes hard to judge via the computer screen. It arrived on the exact day it said it would and I appreciated...
