Literature is a conversation -- between writers and other writers, and writers and readers. In their introduction to literature anthology, Ann Charters, editor of the bestselling The Story and Its Writer, and Samuel Charters, a much-published poet and novelist, bring students into this conversation through a distinctive set of features, including an abundance of writer commentaries that model how to read and write about literature (and a minimum of intrusive editorial apparatus that may constrain how to think about it). In the fourth edition of Literature and Its Writers, Ann and Samuel Charters open the conversation even further, by expanding the range of writers they include and presenting innovative new kinds of conversations about literature for students to enter.

Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
