useful for those curious...
This Young Reader's PictureBook of Tar Heel Authors has a somewhat misleading title. There is a small (about 2 inches by 2 inches) photo on each page. Each author profile takes up one page, and those photos are the only "pictures" in this book! Parents expecting a picturebook a la Dr. Seuss are going to be disappointed.

The text of each profile is doubtless accurate, having been compiled by the expert Richard Walser. The book is dated though, having been published in 1966. No authors with North Carolina roots who have made their mark primarily since then are included (Gloria Houston, Patricia Cornwell, Rick Boyer, Elizabeth Daniels Squire, Charles Frazier to name a few).

This book looks like it would excite very few young readers, but, to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, folks who go in for this sort of thing will go in for this.
