About Litwin Books

Litwin Books is an independent academic publisher of books about media, communication and the cultural record. We are interdisciplinary in scope and intention, and gather together works from a range of disciplines, including media studies, communication studies, digital humanities, cultural studies, information studies, philosophy of technology, philosophy of information, archival studies, communications history, history of archives and libraries, and related fields. Ourindependence from larger institutions gives us the freedom to offer critical perspectives that cut against the grain, as well as occasionally to give a scholar free reign with a work that is outside his or her usual publishing stream.

Libraries and the Enlightenment

Author Wayne Bivens-TatumPrice $25.00Published March 2012ISBN 978-1-936117-42-0

Contemporary American libraries are products of the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment—the intellectual and political movement that emerged in 18th century Europe—consolidated various scientific and political ideals into a worldview advocating scientific discovery and experimentation, reason as a touchstone of truth, intellectual freedom to study and publish, skepticism about received traditions, individual liberty, political and social equality among all persons, democracy, and toleration of diverse opinions among other beliefs. This book provides a historical account of the Enlightenment era’s influence on libraries.

Allie and the Monster Who Said Blah Blah Blah

Author Rory LitwinIllustrator Ginny MakiPrice $18.00ISBN 978-1-936117-58-1Published May 2012

Allie has a monster problem. A monster is preventing her from sleeping, terrorizing her with his scary “Blah Blah Blahs” that sound like the incomprehensible things that adults say (often recognizable to parents). Her mom helps to solve her problem with a magic book that causes the monster to shrink and go away. But Allie’s problems are not over yet. No longer bothering her, the monster seems to be threatening her parents in their bedroom. Allie takes care of the monster herself this time, in a surprise ending. (Hint: it has to do with the TV.)
