The Brandywine Book of Food by Roger Morris and Cathleen Ryan

Explore the culinary landscape of the Brandywine Valley's Country Gardens, Bed and Breakfast Inns, Mushroom Barns, and Boutique Wineries.
The title explores a wide range of dining interests and tastes, from Talula's Table in Kennett Square, which in 2009 was called the nation's hardest-to-get reservation--to Hank's Place in Chadds Ford, where you won't need a reservation, but on some Sunday mornings you might stand outside in line to get into "Where hungry people eat and friendly people meet."

The Man Who Built Washington: A Life of John McShain
by Carl M. Brauer

Philadelphian John McShain was one of the largest builders in the United States. From the 1920s until his retirement in 1976, his general contracting firm worked throughout the Middle Atlantic States, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware. McShain's greatest impact was on the nation's capital, where he constructed many of the monuments and public buildings that symbolized both our history and the growth of the modern federal government. The Jefferson Memorial, the Pentagon, the National Airport, the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the rebuilding of the White House, the Kennedy Center, and many more were McShain projects. This biography traces McShain's remarkable life from his origins in Philadelphia's Irish-American community, to his career in one of our most important but least-studied industries, his philanthropic activities, and his accomplishments in the world of horse racing.
