There's nothing quite like publication day. After months of research, editing, and design work, today we're sending six new titles out into the world, and we couldn't be more excited to share them with you. Each one dives into a different corner of local and regional history, from fairies to the revolutionary war. Whether you're a longtime reader of ours or just discovering our books for the first time, we think there's something here that will pull you in. Grab a cup of coffee and let's take a look at what's new on the shelves.

Every book on this list is a reminder that history isn't just something that happened long ago and far away. It happened here, on streets we still walk and in communities we still call home. We hope these new releases inspire you to look at your own hometown with fresh eyes and a little more curiosity. Pick up a copy today, and let us know which story you're most excited to dive into.

History isn't just something that happened somewhere else, it happened right here, in the streets you walk and the buildings you pass every day. These new releases are your invitation to dig deeper into that story. Pick up a copy, share it with a fellow history lover, or gift it to someone who's always wanted to know more about where they come from.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the only president in American history to be elected more than twice. He won the White House in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944, serving just over twelve years before dying in office on April 12, 1945, less than three months into his fourth term. It is one of the most remarkable stories in all of American political history, and it raises a question that still captivates historians today: how did it happen?

From forgotten founding stories to celebrated community milestones, our newest titles cover the remarkable history happening right in your own backyard. These are not just new books for history buffs. They are books for anyone who has ever looked at an old photograph of their town and wondered what life was really like, for anyone who wants to understand the roots of the place they love, and for anyone searching for new books that feel both meaningful and close to home.

On July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law, transforming American society and outlawing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Here's what you need to know.

This week marks an incredibly special week for us as a nation. I'm sure you are already aware, but it is America's 250th birthday! Which makes today's book drop that much more special as we continue to tell America's history from the big stories to the unknown.

It was 1:20 A.M. on Saturday, June 28, 1969 in Greenwich Village, New York at the Stonewall Inn. Four plain clothes policemen, two officers in uniform and Detective Charles Smythe, and Deputy Inspector Seymour Pine arrived at the Stonewall Inn. There were already four undercover policemen (and policewomen) inside. 

It lasted less than an hour. In that short span of time on June 25, 1876, Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and more than 260 of his men were killed along the banks of the Little Bighorn River in present-day Montana, dealt a stunning defeat by a coalition of Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors. The Battle of Little Bighorn remains one of the most written-about, debated, and mythologized military engagements in American history. But beneath the legend lies a story of broken treaties, Indigenous resistance, and the brutal collision of two worlds.

You know the drill, every Tuesday, we share new books that are hitting the shelves and while today might be no different, it is a slower week than usual.

Every Tuesday, we publish new books that tell an untold history, and this week is no different. If you're here for the haunted history, the human legacy or even a few kids books, you're in the right place.

The island is fictional. The witch trials, drowned villages, mariner curses, and colonial horrors that haunt it are not. Twenty books, five themes, one reading list for fans who don't want the feeling to end.

Every June, rainbow flags line the streets, parades wind through city centers, and the word "Pride" takes on a festive, celebratory energy. And that celebration is earned. But Pride was never just a party. It was born from resistance, sustained by grief, and is still fueled by necessity. To truly honor Pride, we have to understand where it came from and why the work is not finished.

If you have been watching Widow's Bay on Apple TV+ and finding yourself equal parts spooked and delighted, you are in very good company. What makes the show so addictive is that rare tonal tightrope walk: it is genuinely funny and genuinely scary, often in the same scene. If you find yourself craving more of that North Shore historic (and maybe haunted) vibe, we have some books for you. Here are our picks for readers who can't get enough of Widow's Bay. 

Whether you grew up tracing battle routes on old maps or you've always suspected that New England's past holds more secrets than the history books let on, today is a good day to be a reader. We're proud to announce five new titles joining our catalog, and this batch might be our most exciting yet.

On this day 196 years ago, President Andrew Jackson signed one of the most consequential and devastating pieces of legislation in American history. The Indian Removal Act, signed into law on May 28, 1830, authorized the president to grant lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders. What followed was not a peaceful exchange. It was the forced uprooting of entire nations.
