Library Lin’s Curated Collection of Superlative Nonfiction

Library Lin’s Curated Collection of Superlative Nonfiction is a librarian’s A-list of nonfiction books organized by subject area—just like a library. Linda Maxie (Library Lin) combed through 65 best books lists going back a century. She reviewed tens of thousands of books, sorted them according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system, and selected an entire library’s worth for you to browse without leaving home. Here you’ll find

• Summaries of outstanding titles in every subject
• Suggestions for locating reading material specific to your needs and interests

In this broad survey of all the nonfiction categories, you will find titles on everything from the A-bomb to Zen Buddhism. You might find yourself immersed in whole subject areas that you never thought you’d be interested in.

Linda Maxie is a retired librarian with a passion for matching the right book with the right reader. After earning an MLS from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, she spent her career working in public, elementary, and high school libraries, where she obsessively pored over book reviews, intent on building the perfect collection. After retirement, she continued her quest in the volume you see here. Currently, she lives in Virginia with her husband, Roger, and their rescued mixed-breed canine, Dusty Marie.
