Librarians spend their lives weeding - not weeds, but books - books that have reached the end of their shelf life both literally and figuratively. They remove books that patrons no longer check out, and they put back books they treasure. Annie Spence, who has a decade of experience as a Midwestern librarian, does this not only at her Michigan library but also at home, for her neighbors, at cocktail parties - everywhere. In Dear Fahrenheit 451, she addresses those books directly.

Roy Peter Clark, one of America’s most influential writing teachers, wants to change that by putting the glamour back into grammar.

The result is the definitive portrait of one of the most fascinating figures of the 20th century.

Caring for a pet
The story is classic and is great and the voice over is amazing. Unfortunately, the additional content is very condescending and ridiculous. I don’t need you as the publisher assuming that, we the readers, don’t know how to care for a pet.
