Interested in History?

Legacy has about 45 linear feet of true stories from all eras (ancient world to 21st century) and all parts of the world. For example, we have dozens of classic and contemporary books about World War II. Some of these read like true crime, zeroing in on fascinating and little-known events or voices. Others step back to see the context surrounding an event like D-Day or Pearl Harbor. Many are award winning volumes by well-known historians.

Featured: A complete 6-volume set of The Second World War by Winston Churchill, who received the 1953 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values."

Are you an aspiring writer? 

We have an array of language references and books about the craft of writing, both creatively and professionally. Learn about concocting and naming characters, inventing new worlds, or improving grammar, word choice, and usage in your writing. Find your way into creating entrancing children’s stories, blockbuster screenplays, unputdownable thrillers, or inspiring poetry. Learn what some highly regarded authors say about the writing trade and their own work.

And down the road, if you’re inclined, consider sharing what you write. If you’re interested in being part of a writing group, contact us.
