The Center for Research on Vermont recently asked its members to share the titles of high impact Vermont books. The enthusiastic responses ranged from a single title to long lists. Some members simply submitted titles, while others provided extensive notes to explain why the titles are important. Some members reached back through the decades, and others offered hot-off-the-press publications.
Prudence Doherty, the Public Services Librarian at the Silver Special Collections Library at UVM stepped in to curate the list, organizing the titles into categories. The extraordinarily detailed lists from Michael Sherman, Gary Shattuck, Kevin Graffagnino and Bruce Post can be found here. Tyler Resch alerted us to The Fourteenth State, his collection of short essays on selected Vermont books.
